A devastating first-half performance by Manchester City has the runaway Premier League leaders in control at a semi-deserted Emirates Stadium.
 

The Gunners were out for revenge after last weekend’s Carabao Cup defeat at Wembley but the game was pretty much out of sight in the opening half-hour as the visitors scored three unanswered goals.
 

Let’s take a look at who was in hot form on a bitterly cold night in North London:
 

LEROY SANE: Two brilliant assists for the opening two goals then one for himself rounding off a scintillating display by the German.
 

BERNARDO SILVA: A wonderful opening goal from the Portuguese international set the visitors on their way.
 

DAVID SILVA: Scored his side’s second but that tells only half the story of a another magnificent display by the little Spaniard.
 

SERGIO AGUERO: Maybe not on the score-sheet yet but was simply unplayable in the opening 45 minutes.
 

HECTOR BELLERIN: It’s harsh to single out an Arsenal player as the whole side were outclassed from the first whistle but Bellerin was chasing shadows for an entire half.
