23'
Negredo is offside as Silva slides a low ball near post. The cross was poor anyway - great ball from Clichy to release him.
22'
Toure is annoyed after a throw is awarded to Arsenal when he felt he kept it in. To be honest he clearly fouled Ramsey anyway, so it should have been a free-kick.
21'
58: A pleasant stat for City fans, from our pals at Opta - it's the 58th consecutive Premier League home game City have scored in.

JUST WIDE FROM NEGREDO! Kompany with a nice turn away from Ramsey before sliding it through to Negredo, who is closed down by Koscielny as he hammers it wide. Should have made Szczesny work!
19'
Silva with an uncharacteristic loss of possession on the edge of the Arsenal box.
18'
City really looking to hammer home this advantage, bombarding the Arsenal box with balls, low and high.
17'
Aguero backs into Koscielny, with the Argentine going down heavily but there was no foul.
16'
Aguero slides it wide to Zabaleta but his low cross is intercepted.
15'
Shaky moment for Pantilimon as he flaps at and drops a cross, he feels he was fouled but there was no signal from ref or assistant and it's a good thing he got on to the second ball before a red shirt!
14'
Aguero has scored 19 goals this season, 13 in his 15 Prem matches - more than he managed all of last season. His fellow Argentine Demichelis got the assist with a near-post flick. Koscienly all over the place though.

GOAL CITY! Aguero with a fantastic volley at the Nasri corner! Just flew into the top right!
12'
Negredo almost finds himself free but Koscielny gets a vital headed touch to put it behind for a corner. Negredo would have been unmarked.
11'

Arsenal on the move again as a cross from the right misses everyone but lands for WILSHERE UNMARKED but he mis-hits the volley! Jeers from the home fans but Arsenal still have it as Giroud flies in for a header, which spins away from goal! And Giroud is almost sent through once more but fails to control it!
11'
Ramsey so nearly sends Walcott clean through but the pass is a touch heavy. Walcott's return gives Arsenal an extra dimension in attack, particularly on the break.
10'
The Arsenal free-kick is cleared and City can counter. Fernandinho initially shows nice skill to work space to find a pass, but he gets the through-ball all wrong.
10'
Ozil swings in the free-kick, which Negredo heads behind for a corner to Arsenal. Better from the visitors.
9'
Ramsey so nearly picks out Walcott but Clichy and Demichelis combine to clear. But Fernandinho catches the heel of Flamini and Arsenal have a free-kick wide right.
8'
Zabaleta finds acres of space wide right but Ramsey is tracking back, blocking and clearing the low centre before Kompany fouls Giroud. Now Ramsey is fouled and Arsenal can slow it down and try to build from deep.
7'
Niggly between Wilshere and Kompany, who briefly loses his temper but calms down and shakes hands with the Gunner. All City so far - Arsenal barely made it past halfway!
6'
Negredo on the ball now, a superb run down the left and a flashing cross that takes Aguero by surprise and Arsenal scramble it clear!
5'
Nasri with the corner, Mertesacker with a pounding header away for another one. That meets Toure but his header is well off target.
