Arsenal grateful for home comforts

Arsenal 3 Stoke 0: What a difference a ground makes.

Only five weeks after Arsenal suffered a humbling fifth defeat since Stoke were promoted in 2008, Arsene Wenger’s side moved up to fifth in the table having now won every Premier League match when hosting the men from the Potteries.

This was never even a contest and was all over when the outstanding Alexis Sanchez scored his second goal of the match, and 18th of the season, four minutes into the second half, following Laurent Koscielny’s early Arsenal opener.
