The first 45 minutes ended goalless but the London side returned more determined at the start of the 2nd half getting their first reward 4 minutes later from an Olivier Giroud superb header. Laurent Koscielny doubled the lead in the 68 minute while 23-year old Joan Campbell scored his first EPL goal for the gunners in the 73rd minute to seal the win and put Arsenal at the top of the table alongside Manchester City.
Both Arsenal and Manchester City now have 25 points from 11 matches with the Manchester side having an edge with a four goal difference.
