Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne scored twice and set up another goal to inspire his team to a 3-0 victory over Arsenal in a thrilling Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium on December 15, 2019.

De Bruyne's impressive performance saw him score City's opener just two minutes into the match, following good work from Gabriel Jesus.

He then set up Raheem Sterling for the second goal in the 15th minute, before curling a left-footed shot into the bottom corner to make it 3-0 just five minutes before the break.

Despite a close call for Arsenal in the second half, Man City held on to claim the victory, leaving Arsenal rooted at ninth on the league standings with 22 points.

Freddie Ljungberg's decision to ring in a change, sacrificing Mesut Ozil for youngster Emile Smith Rowe, made little impact as the visitors secured the win.

Man City's victory now sees them just four points off second-placed Leicester, while Arsenal will look to bounce back from this defeat in their next match.

Arsenal's Twitter post and Man City's Twitter post captured the excitement of the match.
