Arsenal 3-0 Stoke City: 5 Talking Points

The Gabonese international scored twice on the day

#1 Poor turnout at the Emirates once again

Fans have been boycotting home games since Arsenal lost the final of the Carabao Cup

In what will surely concern Arsenal and their board, a fair percentage of the seats at the Emirates Stadium remained unfilled yet again. Coming into this game, the hosts had generated three wins in their last three games to regain a semblance of top form. However, the fans remain apprehensive as they continue to boycott games in an attempt to voice their discontent against the way things are functioning at the club.

Another reason for the poor turn-out on the day might also be the fact that all Premier League games are now dead rubbers for Arsenal for the rest of the season. All hopes are pinned on the Europa League now. Hence, the quarterfinal against CSKA Moscow on Thursday might be more significant for the Gooners than a game against Stoke City.
