Thomas Partey returns to Arsenal training in first session of the New Year
Mikel Arteta’s side have finally begun to show flickers of promise, with consecutive victories against Chelsea and Brighton, after such a wretched start to the season. Despite that, the Gunners remain 14th in the table, with just 20 points from 16 games thus far. Their hopes of securing a European place for next season are not completely diminished, though, with just six points separating them from the top six, and a consistent run of results could still see Arsenal reverse their fortunes.
West Brom 0 – 3 Arsenal – Lacazette
60 mins: GOAL! It’s three! Saka is played into the right side of the box. He crosses the ball and Ajayi’s clearance hits the far post and bounces to Lacazette. He shoots but Ajayi stops it on the line. It doesn’t matter though as Lacazette gets another go and this time he smokes it home.

48 mins: Oh frustration for West Brom who find the back of the net. A ball over the top sets Pereira free into the box. He shoots and hits the far post. The ball bounces away and is struck by Robinson who rattles into the goal. Then the offside flag goes up against Pereira who was miles offside when the ball came up to him.

West Brom 0 – 2 Arsenal
45+2 mins: Half time. A confident, dominant display from Arsenal. It’s strange how a couple of wins can change your outlook. Arsenal have been stylish, pacey and inventive. West Brom are all at sea. It might even be beyond Big Sam to save this ship. We’ll see how they respond in the second half.
