With two minutes remaining, Kai Havertz scored and Bukayo Saka scored twice in each half, giving them their fourth win in six games.
The outcome placed Mikel Arteta’s team in third position, five points behind champions Liverpool and two points behind Barcelona in second.
Opta’s analysis indicates that teams will automatically advance with 16 points, while eighth place requires 15 points.
Yet, Arsenal could just need to win one of their next two league games.
On January 22, they will host Dinamo Zagreb at the Emirates. A week later, they will travel to Spain to play La Liga rival Girona.
The Daily Mail claims that there has been no development about Thomas Partey’s contract status, reports Football London.
The midfield player’s contract, which is set to expire in the summer, is in the last six months of its term.
Therefore, starting next month, he is free to talk to teams overseas. “We will have the right time to discuss this situation [his contract],”
Arteta remarked in reference to the circumstance.
Because of his ability and the way he feels physically, he is once again demonstrating consistency at the top level. That makes me really happy.
