English Premier League: Walcott & Giroud on target in Gunners win
“We are capable of doing different things in different games and that is what makes it harder for the opponents”, Mertesacker told reporters after Monday’s 2-1 home win over Manchester City took Arsenal within two points of Premier League leaders Leicester City.

“I will never forget that game because there was also a lot around the game afterwards”, said the Gunners boss. “He had only one training session yesterday”.
“For a guy who could not prepare well, he has done extremely well physically”.
“After that the team started to push up but in the end we didn’t do it. That is football and sometimes we have to accept we can lose close games like that”.
With 11 wins against three draws and three losses from 17 games in England’s elite division, Arsenal are now just two points behind surprise league leaders Leicester City, who top the table on 38 points. “You see his desire to win”, Wenger said.
Arteta, who has not featured in the first team since their 2-1 defeat at West Brom a month ago, is still battling to shake off the calf problem that also plagued him last season.
First-half goals from Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud proved enough for Arsenal in a contest that City dominated in terms of possession (63 per cent) and territory.
Arsenal have been installed as the mid-season favourites to win the premiership but Wenger, with all of his positivity, took a prudent approach when asked of his side’s title hopes.
Kenny Cunningham believes Arsenal’s “soft centre” could cost Arsene Wenger’s side the Premier League title. “This kind of talent is exceptional and he realises he can help us in every game”.
“He’s great manager, he’s a very thoughtful man, he’s a deeply intellectual man, I’ve huge time and huge respect for Arsene Wenger”, said Corbyn, who is MP for Islington North, where the Emirates is located.
In the past, the £42.4million signing from Real Madrid has frustrated Arsenal fans for floating in and out of matches, but he was given a standing ovation when replaced against City.
City threatened to snatch an improbable point when Yaya Toure languidly stroked a left-foot shot into Petr Cech’s top-right corner with eight minutes to play, but by then the damage had already been done.
