Theo Walcott had fired the Gunners ahead in the 5th minute after finishing a precise through ball from Alexis Sanchez, netting his 11th goal in all competitions.
But second half goals from Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling steered City to victory, inflicting a loss in an all-too-familiar fashion on the Gunners’ faithful.
German superstar Mesut Ozil was singled out by fans during the match for his lacklustre performance, after he was spotted walking around the middle of the pitch looking disinterested with his side 2-1 down.

A clip of his defending was uploaded to Twitter by an outraged Arsenal supporter, sparking fury.
"They get paid so much money and just give up? I don’t respect that,” read one tweet.
Another outraged viewer added: “It's a joke! It's a bloody joke! He gets payed bloody well for him to sulk on the field looking like this!”
The German star is reportedly in negotiations over a lucrative contract extension
A third user said: “If he were any other player he'd be dropped. Two terrible performances in a row - costing us 6 points in the process.”
Tensions were running high among the travelling fans following the game, with one bloke even calling for Arsene Wenger’s resignation.
His pleas were met with fury by another Gunners supporter, causing an expletive-laden screaming match outside the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
