Thank you very much for joining us this evening for a cracking game of football. Stay tuned to Eurosport for all the reaction to this match.
90'
And that's full-time at Manchester City as Pep Guardiola gets the win against a big side that he desperately needs. Two wins in a week for City.

There's another yellow card now for Gabriel as he comes into the back of Silva. City midfielder Fernando also picks up a yellow.

The first of four minutes of added time sees Sterling win a free-kick from Bellerin.

TV cameras have cut to Sanchez who is hunched over on his knees looking very glum, perhaps wondering how much tickets to China cost.

It loops up in the air and Bravo comes steaming out his goal to punch it away.
86'
Otamendi comes diving in against Ozil and it means a free-kick in a danger area just on the left of the area, the German to whip it in...
84'
Now it's De Bruyne who comes off as Kelechi Iheanacho comes on for the final minutes.

Sanchez finds Ozil and rather than shoot he slides in Walcott. The forward tries to take first time and it's hard to know whether that's a shot or a cross as it balloons up and over the bar.
80'
That' s a bit naughty from De Bruyne. He chases down a loose ball with Gabriel and needlessly slices down the Arsenal man, earning himself a yellow.

I tell you what Oxlade-Chamberlain better be injured. He's just been taken off for Mohamed Elneny less than 15 minutes after coming on.
He does head straight down the tunnel so it's probably a knock of some kind.

Terrific chance for De Bruyne but he can only get it onto the post and it goes wide.
Gary Neville is absolutely fuming on commentary at Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for their lack of movement, with every right as well.
76'
Sane comes off to warm applause and he is replaced by Jesus Navas.

Watching that back and it's hard not to marvel at the ball from De Bruyne, it's sensational.
Question marks have to be raised over both Monreal and Cech.

GOAL! MANCHESTER CITY 2-1 ARSENAL (STERLING)
Sterling's crosses have been awful this afternoon make no mistake but that is a wonderful finish.
De Bruyne plays what is arguably the pass of the season as he hits a wonderful half-volley across to Sterling. The winger cuts inside and fires a low shot with his left foot that beats Cech at his near post.

Sterling has a couple of chances to get the ball in but he can't get the cross off properly. However the ball comes out to De Bruyne and his deflected shot forces a smart stop from Cech. The resulting corner comes to nothing.
68'
Oxlade-Chamberlain has brought a bit of spark to the Arsenal attack but it's still City with the pressure
