The City fans taunted Arsenal with chants of 'Are you watching, Arsenal?' as they celebrated their win. Rayan Cherki's outstanding performance epitomized the contrast between the two teams, with his brilliance in attack a stark difference to Arsenal's current lack of inspiration. Chelsea's squad struggled to contain City, with Marc Guehi and Nico O'Reilly scoring crucial goals.

The defeat has put pressure on Rosenior, with the team having lost their last three league matches. Guardiola praised his team's performance, stating that the second half was 'a thousand times better' than the first, while Rosenior acknowledged that his team's performance was 'not good enough' in the second half.
