The “5-star” victory in this match helped Arsenal rise to 3rd place on the Premier League rankings with 43 points following 21 matches like Aston Villa but ranked higher thanks to better goal difference. The current gap between “The Gunners” and top team Liverpool is 2 points, but coach Mikel Arteta and his team played one more match.
According to Opta statistics, in the Premier League this season, Arsenal has scored 9 goals from corner kicks, more than any other club. At the same time, “Gunners” is also the club that scores the most goals from headers with 10 times.
Since Mikel Arteta took over the “hot seat” at Emirates Stadium, Arsenal has won 50 home matches in the Premier League. This achievement is only behind Man City (60 matches) and Liverpool (55 matches).
Leandro Trossard has been directly involved in 11 goals in his last 14 starts at Emirates Stadium (7 assists, 4 goals).
After 45 appearances for Arsenal, Leandro Trossard has scored 7 goals. However, this is the first time the 29-year-old has scored a goal that was not assisted by Bukayo Saka.
