Arsenal's problems did not end with this goal in the first half - in the 40th minute, De Bruyne put the final nail in the coffin. The Belgian scored his third goal with another jewel-like strike.
At the end of the half, De Bruyne could have completed a hat-trick, but Bernd Leno made a fantastic save.
