Arsenal remain two points clear of City, although Pep Guardiola’s men possess two games in hand.
As the match unfolded, Sun columnist Piers was disappointed with his side’s “capitulation”.
At half-time, he tweeted: “This is making me sicker than Monday’s dodgy sushi.”
After City’s third, he added: “We’re just giving this away. The ball, the match, the Premier League. Embarrassing capitulation by Arsenal.
So disappointing.”
Shortly after, the 58-year-old continued: “At least put up a bloody fight, Arsenal.
“I don’t mind losing to a better team, which City clearly are, but I do mind losing so spinelessly.”
Rio Ferdinand taunted Piers, tweeting: “ 4@piersmorgan.”
Piers responded: “4 @rioferdy5.”

Upon the final whistle, the Gunners megafan concluded: “FFS. What a shambles.
“When I was vomiting violently into a toilet bowl at 2am on Tuesday, I never imagined that would be only the second most sickening experience of my week. ”
City flexed their muscles before the game had even started, showing off the Premier League trophy on the pitch.
They then came out swinging, with Kevin De Bruyne scoring a magnificent goal after just seven minutes.
John Stones made it 2-0 on the stroke of half-time, before Gunners fans felt that Ruben Dias should have been sent off for a coming together with Ben White.
De Bruyne brilliantly struck again in the 54th minute, although Rob Holding did manage to pull one back late on.
City would strike the final, emphatic blow, however, with the magnificent Erling Haaland letting his hair down, literally, and scoring his side’s fourth.
A melee followed the final whistle, with Jack Grealish and Thomas Partey squaring up.
