Wenger Crashed!

A Century of Humiliation!

After Man City thrashed Arsenal 9–1 away from home, The Times ran the explosive news as its front-page headline.

The authoritative newspaper directly used the scoreboard from the end of the match at Emirates Stadium as its front-page cover, making the entire report look even more tragic and devastating.

The Times described it as a shocking, devastating scoreline.

"It's hard to believe that this was a match between two teams in the top three of the Premier League table!"

"On this freezing night, Man City left the deepest and sweetest memory in the hearts of their victorious fans with a shocking scoreline. At the same time, that scoreline was like a cruel dagger, carving an eternally unhealable wound into the hearts of the defeated Arsenal players."

"This was Arsenal's most painful defeat in 115 years!"

The Times reported an amusing post-match incident.

During an interview with the media, Man City captain Su Dong was told by a reporter that the most painful defeat in Arsenal's history had been an eight-goal loss, and that it had happened only once. One hundred and fifteen years ago, in December 1896, Arsenal had lost 0–8 away to Loughborough in the Second Division. Since then, Arsenal had never conceded eight goals in a single match.

But this time, against Man City—and at their own home ground—Arsenal had lost 1–9.

In fact, if Man City had not deliberately eased off in the closing stages and allowed Arsenal to score, it would have been 0–9.

This was unquestionably the most painful defeat in Arsenal's 125-year history!

"In Man City's history, there has never been a match or a victory that has brought Man City fans such satisfaction and pride as this battle at Emirates Stadium."

"Because they defeated Arsenal."

Wenger was universally recognized
