Kevin De Bruyne's brilliance settled another big game for Manchester City, Erling Haaland showcased his improvement as a link-up man, and John Stones further cemented his status as a Blues hero with another statement display.
Add to that, key players like Ilkay Gundogan, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, and Ruben Dias used their experience to completely nullify any threat Arsenal had planned to unleash. Jack Grealish showed why he is undroppable on the left-wing, and Kyle Walker returned to right-back like he'd never been away.
It was one of City's best team performances of the season - and yet it was slightly different to other big wins. The tactical versatility on show must have pleased Pep Guardiola more than any goal, or title race advantage gained.
