Important Win Against Stoke

Arsenal had to overturn a rather unfavourable first half – Stoke took the lead in the 29th minute after a penalty. Nevertheless, Walcott managed to equalise by half-time and, after the interval, Özil and Iwobi both scored and thus set Arsenal’s win in stone.

“Though we were losing we had the match under control and overturned the score, as deserved,” said Petr.“The opponents were pretty confident after two wins in a row and had been on their way up the table. That’s why it was by no means an easy game, but we did well and we’ve acquired three well-deserved points,” he added.

Arsenal was additionally able to benefit from its rivals’ results. Manchester City had lost to Leicester and Liverpool had only able to draw with West Ham. The Gunners are therefore three points ahead of Liverpool.
