Comments:

League position: 4th Arsenal had now won ten consecutive games in all competitions for the sixth time in their history and for the first time since October 2007. The Gunners had now scored 30 goals in their last ten games. With his 30th goal, Mesut Özil became the highest scoring German-born player in the history of the Premier League. The record was previously jointly held by Jürgen Klinsmann and Uwe Rösler (both 29).

Comments:
