On this day in 2013, City came into the tie six points behind Arsenal, but blew the Premier League leaders away in a devastating attacking display.
Sergio Aguero volleyed home the opening goal at the Etihad Stadium, but the Gunners responded after the half hour through Theo Walcott.
The visitors weren’t level for long though, with Alvaro Negredo restoring our lead on the stroke of half-time from Pablo Zabaleta’s inviting ball across the face of goal.

Fernandinho added number three after the restart, curling home a sumptuous first goal for the Club, before Walcott once again gave Arsene Wenger’s side hope with an impressive finish of his own.
But once again City responded in the best possible fashion when David Silva guided Jesus Navas’ low cross home at the near post, before Fernandinho was once again on target late on.
Per Mertesacker reduced the deficit in stoppage time, but it was Manuel Pellegrini’s men who would deservedly have the last word when Yaya Toure coolly slotted home from the spot in the 97th minute.
