Arsenal 3-0 Stoke City: 5 Talking Points

#3 Relegation scare for Stoke City

Will Stoke go down this season?

The Potters are second from bottom on the league table, three points from safety. It was imperative for them to take something away from the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. However, they succumbed to a defeat, which has now significantly impacted their hopes of survival.

They did look organized and solid in the first half of the game and did not let Arsenal create any meaningful chances. However, the penalty led to their unravelling after which it was one-way traffic in favour of Arsenal.

Paul Lambert will be worried about the future of his team in the Premier League, more so after scanning through the remaining fixtures. The Potters have to play against Tottenham and Liverpool in the next two months and they cannot afford to lose either of those games.
