However, just like Sunderland, Arsenal still managed to win and win convincingly. He has made five more assists than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues, and six more than any in the Premier League.

Kelechi Iheanacho’s fortuitous stoppage-time goal had earlier given Manchester City a 2-1 win over managerless Swansea City that sent Manuel Pellegrini’s side above former leaders Leicester on goal difference.
It is nearly impossible to guess where the next point will come from – let alone the next win – and it is no surprise that Garde has held talks with Lerner concerning his future at the club should they be relegated. Of course, you don’t have much time in the Premier League.
“We have shown what we are capable of and have to continue now, in what is a busy part of the season”.
