English Premier League: Arsenal handed Huddersfield a five goal lesson
Who is this team and where is Arsenal? Five goals scored and on the giving end and not the receiving end. First Everton and now Huddersfield a team who’s barely put a foot wrong.
Not one, not two, not three, not four, but five goals to the good in a game that expressed the meaning of a one-sided clash. Arsenal ruthless and unforgiving, and Huddersfield bystanders to a match, they’re supposed to feature in.
Alexandre Lacazette proved to Wenger exactly why he shouldn’t be left out the side and then a half later – Olivier Giroud tells him to pipe down, he’s got this. The two were fantastic because of a common denominator, the German maestro, Mesut Ozil.
The midfielder has been experiencing a second wind and looks like he wants an Arsenal stay. He was at the highest of highs and put in his second best performance for the season – the first being the North London Derby, where he was reborn.

What to say about Huddersfield? I have absolutely have nothing to say about them. A chance here and there, but their form has dropped since facing tougher opponents more frequently. It has cause them to dip in form and not achieve the results needed to keep them away from the bottom of the table.
A collective performance by the Gunners – the play between them was flawlessly great and something missing in previous months. Looks as if Ozil’s the man who possesses the power to bring the North London club back to life.
What added to the great display last night was the fact both the starting striker and the striker off the bench, were on target. The competition is always healthy. Although in Arsenal’s case, sometimes they have unhappy campers for any small reason.
Wenger must be proud while avoiding the hate around the Emirates based club continues. The momentum has shifted and they have done an outstanding job to sit above their rivals, Spurs.
The Gunners will be the most interesting to watch in this busy period, as we all know things can go wrong soon for Wenger and the world’s turned against him again.
