Arsenal, Wenger set unwanted records in home loss to Pep’s Manchester City

Few days after Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City trashed Arsenal 3-0 at Wembley to claim the 2018 League Cup title, the runaway league leaders humbled the London club again on Thursday by the same goal margin.

While Manchester City and Pep Guardiola set and match long-term records for Arsenal it was a case of setting and matching unwanted records.

Below are some of the records

– Arsenal suffered their joint-heaviest home Premier League defeat, having also lost by three-goal margins to Coventry (1993), Middlesbrough (2001) and Chelsea (twice in 2009).
– Manchester City have now scored more Premier League goals this season (82) than they scored in the entirety of last season (80).
– This was Manchester City’s biggest away win at Arsenal in any competition since a 4-0 triumph in November 1912.
– The Gunners have lost more matches in all competitions in 2018 than any other Premier League team (seven).
– Arsenal are now on their longest Premier League run without a clean sheet (10 matches) since February 2002 (11 matches).
– David Silva is only the third David to score on St. David’s Day in the Premier League, after David Dunn (Blackburn v Man City in 2003) and David Luiz (Chelsea v Man Utd in 2011).
– This was the first time Arsenal conceded three goals in the first half of a home Premier League game and the first time they’d done so in a home league game since March 1989 against Nottingham Forest.
