Jamie Carragher admits he 'felt for' Arsenal centre-backs Rob Holding and Gabriel Magalhaes during Man City's 4-1 rout at the Etihad - as Gary Neville suggests Mikel Arteta should have switched to a back three at half time

Jamie Carragher has admitted he felt sorry for Rob Holding and Gabriel Magalhaes during Manchester City's 4-1 annihilation of Arsenal at the Etihad on Wednesday.

The Gunners centre-backs struggled to deal with Manchester City's masterful attackers all night, as Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland put on a show to take a significant advantage in the Premier League title race.

De Bruyne fired the hosts ahead in the seventh minute before teeing up John Stones for a bullet header just before the break, helping City go in at half-time two goals to the good.
