Got to admit I was pretty livid when they equalised, thought it was going to be one of those days again where we dominate and spurn chances only to see it kick us in the rear end. Well done to Giroud and whilst it doesn't change anything about who should be number 1 striker (Alexis), it was mightily impressive to see Giroud's hunger to force his way back into the team.
Best Plan B in the PL tbh.
Scoring goals no problem this season, good resilience in the team at the moment too. Xhaka and Rambo back to help out in the middle and hopefully Santi for the NLD next weekend too.
Great performance, saw out the game very well, well done to Bif and Alexis.
A defeat is on the horizon some point soon, just hope it isn't next Saturday.
Great result but we are still sketchy as hell at seeing out games.
Let's hope we haven't picked up any knocks for the NLD. They were a proper bunch of cloggers.
Atkinson.

'WHEN HE HAS A PLAN, WE BACK HIM, WHEN HE DOESN'T......WE KEEP QUIET'
Just seen the disallowed penalty on Alexis. Completely blatant cheating by Atkinson.
Make 2mrw better than 2day
Thought Alexis could have been stronger, but it was a clear penalty and the only reason for it not being given must be because the ref's a cheat. No other possible explanation. And a red card too. Probably why he waved it on, too gutless to apply the rules. But he had no problem at the other end. He's always been a terrible ref.

And here is the Sunderland manager, David Moyes, with his views on the match.
He tells BBC Sport: "It was tough to take and I certainly didn't think we deserved to lose 4-1. We put up a really good show to stick with Arsenal when they were good.
"We fought really hard to stay in the game and we grew into the game. We were the better team at one each, but they have that quality.
"If you lose goals to Arsenal with great interplay then you hold your hands up but I'm disappointed we lost two goals to crosses."
Moyes
You were lucky not to lose that 10 - 1!!!
Another very good and important win. I caught the highlights on Arsenal.com and from what I saw we pretty much dominated the game from start to finish.
We are very clinical this season, no messing about when it comes to putting away our chances.
A couple of big games coming up, CL on Tuesday followed by a NLD which is going to be very very tough IMO.
Elneny and Coquelin the middle again today. So what happened for things to work in this game?
