1. Arsenal cruise to win, move back up to third place
A comfortable victory for Arsenal means they're back up to third place behind Chelsea and Liverpool at the Premier League's midpoint. This was a quietly impressive display from the Gunners lit up by a moment of magic from Olivier Giroud to open the scoring.
On paper, this looked like a peculiar Arsenal side. Without Mesut Ozil, who is ill and also likely to miss the team's midweek trip to Bournemouth, there was an unusual lack of creativity in the side. Alex Iwobi was handed Ozil's No. 10 role while Alexis Sanchez and Lucas Perez played on the flanks, with Giroud retained up front after his winner against West Brom on Boxing Day.
