EPL 2016/17: Arsenal 1-0 West Bromwich Albion - 5 talking points

The Giroud who (almost) stole Christmas

#3 Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil need a break

Does that remind you of Dennis Bergkamp?

And not just a break from football but a break from unnecessary hatred towards them in recent weeks. Sanchez is a world-beater and doesn't let people tell you he's a 'Barcelona reject. He can change games on his own and can do so even better when Ozil is in the mood.

The two of them linked up all over the pitch once again tonight and their passing and breakaways are vital for Arsenal to play the kind of football they do under Arsene Wenger. For someone who's accused of being languid on the pitch, Ozil was sprinting all over and delivered the killer blow by doing what he does best: provide assists.

The former Real Madrid and Barcelona man were at the heart of Arsenal’s massive 21 chances created in the match tonight. If Giroud was a little less rusty, it could have been a field day for the Gunners.
