Comments:

League position: 16th AFC Bournemouth had now avoided defeat in two of their last eight games in the Premier League (won one). The Cherries avoided losing four consecutive home league games for the first time since September 2011 in League One. They remained without a win in the five games they had played in the Premier League on Boxing Day (lost two).

Comments:

League position: 11th This was new manager Mikel Arteta's first game in charge. At the age of 37 years and 275 days, he became the youngest manager to take charge of the Gunners since Terry Neill (aged 34 years and 105 days at the time of his first game in August 1976). Arsenal had now drawn nine of their last 14 games in all competitions (won one). Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had now scored 11 of the Gunners' last 16 goals in away games in the Premier League, including seven of their last nine.
