Mesut Ozil priceless to Arsenal

Arsenal 3 Swansea 2: The final Premier League table is normally a mirror of each club’s wage bill, which is one of the reasons Arsenal are not being tipped by many to win the title this season.

Arsenal are, surprise surprise, the fourth highest payers (about £20m-a-year behind the Manchester clubs and Chelsea) and few pundits are brave enough to predict they will finish any higher than that on the pitch.

Their form and results so far would suggest they have the players and squad to go all the way, as displayed in this victory against a side they had failed to beat at home for four years.
