Arsenal produced some moments of breathtaking quality to eventually brush Norwich City aside at the Emirates Stadium and move back to the top of the Premier League. In many ways a 4-1 result was not reflective of the balance of play in a match where the visitors were a real factor for a long spell. However, such was the quality in the final third from Arsenal that it’s hard to question the eventual scoreline.
Each Arsenal goal had a touch of class about it. Jack Wilshere’s opener inside 20 minutes was a wonderful example of intricate interplay in and around the box. A header from Mesut Ozil to put the home side 2-0 just before the hour mark was also impressive, while Aaron Ramsey starred late on, first with a wonderful individual effort and then by setting up Ozil to grab a second.
But for a 35 minute spell Norwich were the equals of Arsenal. The home side’s second goal was against the run of play and when Jonny Howson scored to make the score 2-1 a tense finish looked on the cards. Instead, Arsenal just moved through the gears once more and blew Chris Hughton’s side away late on with the kind of play that makes talk of the title seem not in the slightest hyperbolic.
