World Cup winners Mesut Özil and Per Mertesacker helped Arsenal to the top of the Premier League table on Sunday afternoon. The duo were involved as the London club beat Aston Villa 2-0. The Gunners now have 33 points, one clear of Manchester City (32) but could surrender the lead on Monday. Should surprise package Leicester City, who have former Germany international Robert Huth in their squad, beat Chelsea tomorrow night (21:00 CET), they will reclaim first place.
Oliver Giroud netted a hat-trick in Greece on Wednesday as Arsenal beat Olympiacos to reach the next round of the Champions League and the France international was among the goals again today. He fired home from the spot after eight minutes. Clever play from Mesut Özil resulted in Aaron Ramsey grabbing the second and final goal before the break (38’).
Bastian Schweinsteiger was suspended as Manchester United followed up Champions League elimination with another defeat on Saturday. The Red Devils were beaten 2-1 by newly promoted AFC Bournemouth and are now fourth in the table.
