The win propels the Gunners into the second spot in the league table behind Chelsea.Liverpool’s miseries continue to pile on as they lost their second game on the bounce. Jordan Henderson got a consolation goal for the visitors from the spot which gave Liverpool some credibility. The Merseyside club were reduced to ten men for the second league game on the trot as Emre Can saw red after clattering Danny Welbeck, which lead to a second yellow.Here are the five talking points from this match:
#1 Arsenal continue to march on
Arsenal’s domestic form is the best in the country since the turn of the year. 14 wins from 15 games is title winning form and today they proved that by trouncing Liverpool. A rejuvenated Olivier Giroud, with solidity from David Ospina has given this Arsenal team a bit more bite. And not to forget the brilliance of Santi Cazorla, Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.
The Gunners are currently in second place and are closing in on Manchester City, who are having problems of their own. Arsene Wenger has brought a renewed sense of vigour in this Arsenal side, who are blamed for perennially underachieving.
There is a huge question mark looming over the North London club’s title credentials, but if they carry on with this kind of form over the final games, we will have a crackerjack of a title race to witness come May.
