  4. 'Arsenal only comfortable when it was three'

    Arsenal were never comfortable until the third goal, but even then they still had a few scares. Defensive coaches in Premier League must be having nightmares. Goals have been flying in everywhere. Defensively the Premier League is a shambles, but it is great entertainment. There has been too much slackness but you have to say the attacking has been very good.

  5. 'Stoke heads going down'

    Marko Arnautovic has had a frustrating afternoon. He has had one or two opportunites but had to watch Arsenal score three really good goals.

    Heads are going down among the Stoke players, but if they get a goal back now it might be an interesting last couple of minutes.

    Ian Funnell: Dele Alli last week Robert Snodgrass this week. When will the FA bring in retrospective action for diving?  

    James Pratt: So Snodgrass (on a yellow) dives for a penalty and commits a penalty and is still on the pitch. Come again?! 

    David Jordan: As a referee myself, it can be hard to tell a dive from a foul. That, however, wasn't hard at all. Blatant dive. 

    Ed K Junior: Looking at that Snodgrass dive, I think it might be time to introduce retrospective punishment for diving.

  7. 'Turbo-charged Gunners'

    It is like someone flicks a switch and Arsenal go into turbo gear. Ozil showed pace, picked out Oxlade-Chamberlain. He looked sharp coming in from left side. That was a chance.

  8. 'Arsenal have options'

    Theo Walcott looks a different player from what I saw earlier in the season. There is bags of confidence from Arsenal and one more should put the game to bed. Stoke are struggling to get out of their half. Arsenal have lots of options.
