Comments:
League position: 3rd With this result, Arsenal avoided failing to win any of their opening three home league games for the first time since 1959. They had now only conceded six goals in 13 Premier League games at home in 2015. Theo Walcott had now scored 11 goals in his last 11 Premier League starts, and the 26 year-old had now scored for a ninth consecutive Premier League season.Goals:
