Man City triumph over Arsenal

A bad week for Arsenal got a whole lot worse when they were beaten 3-0 away at Manchester City.

It's the Gunners' fifth league defeat this season and comes after captain William Gallas was dropped for speaking out about trouble among his team-mates.

His absence left a hole in the Arsenal defence that City made the most of, with goals from Stephen Ireland and Robinho and a Daniel Sturridge penalty.

Meanwhile, Chelsea and Liverpool are still first and second in the table.
