Comments:

League position: 1st Arsenal went to the top of the table by extending their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 14 games for the first time since April 2011. Theo Walcott scored the 100th goal of his club career. Alex Iwobi's goal was the sixth by a Gunners substitute in the Premier League so far in this season; more than any other team.

Comments:

League position: 10th Stoke City had now lost two of their last ten Premier League games (won five). City had kept four clean sheets in their preceding seven Premier League games. Potters boss Mark Hughes had now lost on all ten of his visits to Arsenal in the Premier League during his managerial career.
