This was a big match for Arsenal because if they had lost this match. It would have affected the team morale.
Theo Walcott had an outstanding match and I really hope he is able to carry this kind of form into 2014.
Elsewhere Man City beat the leaders Liverpool by two goals to one. Man City player, Fernandinho looks like he has a real talent.
But whilst they will be scoring lots of goals they will also be conceding a lot of goals as there defence is a bit shaky.
Liverpool played will and Luis Suarez played very well to the point that it made Liverpool look like a one man team.
Man United and Chelsea also won their games. Tottenham who are now managed by Tim Sherwood drew their match.
But I suspect it will take time for Tim Sherwood to develop his own managerial style. But sadly these days premiership managers don't get that time.
A few bad results and managers are under pressure. Hopefully Tottenham board and fans will be a little patient.
So Arsenal are back to being at the top of the league until these weekend fixtures are complete.
