Norwich City are 20th in the points table with 10 points after having played 18 games. Although the chances of winning against Arsenal were slim, the five-goal hammering made it worse. Today's loss made it four defeats in a row for the Canaries.

Dean Smith will have a lot to think about. The next five games will be very crucial for Norwich City. It will be vital for them to score points against Crystal Palace, Watford and Everton if they are to have a chance of avoiding relegation.


#2. Champions League spot in sight for Arsenal

With an emphatic win over Norwich City, Arsenal are provisionally fourth in the Premier League points table having amassed 35 points. Following them is Tottenham Hotspur with 29 points but they have three games in hand.

Arsenal are just six points behind third-placed Chelsea. They have won their last four Premier League games scoring 14 goals and conceding just the one. If Mikel Arteta's men continue their dominant run, they can very well finish in the top four ahead of the likes of Tottenham and Manchester United.


#1. Bukayo Saka shines for Arsenal

Bukayo Saka had a night to remember. The 20-year-old scored a brace to secure all three points for Arsenal. His second goal of the night was something special. Until now the youngster was known for his pacy runs and great vision but lacked the final product. But his brace today proves that he's working on that attribute as well.

Saka combined well with Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli and Lacazette higher up the pitch. If they can continue their rampant form, this attack could become one of the most lethal attacks in the Premier League.
