    Robin Smit: City clearly underestimated Arsenal tonight, however Arsenal might have just played their final tonight too

    Craig Smith: You know what, #Luiz, external is MOTM for #Arsenal, external, and he deserves credit not just for this performance, but also for showing the heart and guts to overcome all his criticism (inc from myself) and perform like that! Incredible!

    Daniel Cheng: What an amazing performance today. Mustafi, Luiz, Xhaka all outstanding today. Defensively solid and dug in deep. Where has this resolve been?

    David Luiz may fare better than the last time we did one of these - Rate the players by heading over here.

  5. 'Monumental from Arsenal'published at 21:48 British Summer Time 18 July 2020

    Arsenal created decent opportunities and to a man they have been absolutely brilliant. Fair play to Mikel Arteta, I absolutely didn't see this coming before the game.

    It was monumental from Arsenal. They were organised, disciplined and ruthless in defence. It was an unbelievable match to sit here and watch.

    I thought City would run away with this before kick-off. Credit to Arsenal, you could say the pupil has schooled the teacher with this game.

    Arteta got it right, Man City will be disappointed and what a chance Arsenal have now to win the FA Cup and reach Europe.

    Arsenal supporters will be going daft about that result. What a win for Arteta - it looks like he might be on to something.

    Sweet Caroline rings out as the Arsenal players hug and celebrate noisily. An excellent structured, backs to the wall display capped by two fine counter-attacking goals.

    The Wembly arch is lit up red.

    They do only play one way - it's just usually good enough to beat anyone. In games like that though they could certainly do with another option.

    Jack George: Arteta's next job is getting Arsenal to win the 'easy' games, the ones against lower-table sides, consistently. That will be when we start talking about Arsenal as a top 4 challenger again

    Abu: The problem with City...is that they really only have one way to play. Pack the defence, and they are nullified. Losing attacking wide players like Sane won't help either. With Silva going and Aguero getting older, will be a key summer for Pep.....

    There have been so many impressive perfromances from the Arsenal players.

    Yes, Aubameyang got the goals but they have defended brilliantly.

    I've never seen Granit Xhaka play like this for Arsenal. Tierney, what a signing he has been.

    Benjamin Mendy's cross is an absolute rocket but even when Emi Martinez has a bit of a flap at one it falls to a red and white shirt.

    Bobby Seagull: In the space of a few days, Arsenal are beating two most dominant forces of English football of recent years Liverpool & Man City. Dare I whisper it, are Arsenal back?! PS with Ole back at the wheel, are we witnessing late 90s United Arsenal again?

    As a Liverpool fan, I don't feel quite as bad as I did on Wednesday. It was clearly no fluke from Arsenal!
