This was Arsenal's biggest EPL win since February 2012 when they beat Blackburn 7-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
It also replaced a 6-1 victory at Everton in August 2009 as Arsenal's heaviest away victory in the competition.
Arsenal have now started 2024 with four consecutive league wins.
Mikel Arteta's side sit just two points below leaders Liverpool with 14 rounds of EPL fixtures remaining.
Arsenal are level on points with City, who have played one game fewer.
