City's fortunes took a turn for the worse yesterday at Highbury when the boy's in blue went down 4-0 to Arsenal making it the 13th consecutive away defeat for Peter Taylor's struggling outfit.

After last week's poor showing against Bolton it was hoped that City would at least try and play out a draw. This though was not the case.

The game was started by Arsenal as they meant to go on with them going close to scoring after just 2 minutes. Callum Davidson, Dean Sturridge and Matt Elliott were all missing from the squad due to injury which gave new boy James Scowcroft and young Jordan Stewart the chance to play today.

Unfortunately neither made any kind of impact on the match which found City 2-0 down by half time after strikes by Robert Pires and Sylvain Wiltord.

City ran out n the second half with a heavily changed side after both Izzet and Rowett were forced off the pitch through injury.

In a bizarre moment in the 60th minute both Dennis Wise and Patrick Viera were sent off for what seemed like nothing more than arguing with each other after clashing on the pitch.

With both teams down to 10 men Arsenal soon added a third goal after 77 minutes when substitute Thierry Henry's shot took a deflection off of City defender Frank Sinclair.

The final insult to injury came right at the death when even though Flowers saved Henry's header but Kanu followed up to head the ball past City's 'keeper.

ARSENAL: Seaman, Cole, Van Bronckhorst, Campbell, Adams, Vieira, Pires, Ljungberg (Grimandi 63), Lauren, Bergkamp (Kanu 75), Wiltord (Henry 66). Subs not used: Keown, Wright.

CITY: Flowers, Rowett (Marshall 40), Stewart, Lewis, Sinclair, Izzet (Delaney 30), Savage, Wise, Scowcroft (Jones 66), Akinbiyi, Impey. Subs not used: Royce, Benjamin.
