League position: 10th With their first win in the Premier League since New Year's Day, Arsenal remained unbeaten in all competitions in 2020. The Gunners scored four or more goals in the second-half of a game in the Premier League for the first time since their 5-1 win at Fulham on 7 October 2018. Mesut Özil scored his first goal in his last 25 appearances for Arsenal since 21 April 2019 against Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Mesut Özil scored Arsenal's third goal in the final minute of normal time at the end of the game before Alexandre Lacazette added their fourth in the fifth minute of added time.
