Comments:

League position: 5th Arsenal had now scored more than one goal in ten of their last 11 London derbies in the Premier League but failed to keep a clean sheet in all 11 games. The Gunners had now won their last 29 home games in the Premier League since October 2008 against teams starting the day in the relegation zone. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had now scored 14 goals in 21 games so far in this Premier League season. They had now won all six of their home games in the Premier League that had been played on a New Year’s Day. When he came on to make his debut in the competition in this game, Bukayo Saka created Premier League history as his squad number of 87 became the highest-ever to feature in the division.
