"Two points from three games is hardly compelling enough evidence to prompt full-blown crisis talks, but given the lofty standards Arsenal have set in the first half of this season, it felt as though we would learn plenty about them here . This against a team who have lost once since the start of December and with a ferocious home crowd behind them."
"Noni Madueke's goal contributions have fallen firmly under the spotlight in recent days, as have the entirety of the Arsenal attack. At one stage on Saturday, own goals were their joint-highest Premier League scorer this season. But thiswas a coming of age for Madueke in an Arsenal shirt. His sumptuous cross allowed Martin Zubimendi to head the visitors into the lead midway through the first half and in the 38th minute the winger's corner was punched into his own net by Karl Darlow,"
Arsenal produced an emphatic away victory that felt significant for the Premier League title picture despite pre-match uncertainty. The visitors had taken only two points from three recent games and faced opponents who had lost once since early December with a ferocious home crowd. Bukayo Saka suffered a hip problem in the warm-up and was replaced. Noni Madueke supplied a cross for Martin Zubimendi's headed opener and his corner led to a Karl Darlow own goal. The result extended Arsenal's strong January away run, which included wins at Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Chelsea, Inter and Leeds, and underscored an uncommon tally of own goals this season.
