Tony Pulis has now failed to take any points off Arsenal in eight trips to the Emirates.

Arsenal are now the second team to win 500 matches in the Premier League.

The season is coming to a close and Arsenal won’t be winning any silverware but Mesut Özil does still have a chance of being crowned…

Tony Pulis is seen as something of a manager who has Arsène Wenger’s number but, honestly, he’s only ever been any good when he’s at home.

Arsenal conceded two goals in the run-up to half-time after taking an early two-goal lead themselves continuing a worrying trend this season.
