Giroud shoots Arsenal to the top of table, Newcastle shock Totheham at White Hart Lane, West Brom Held Liverpool.
Arsene Wenger's men go top of the table with a
routine win while the home side's dismal run of
form continues, as they remain rooted to the bottom
of it
Olivier Giroud's 50th Premier League goal helped send
Arsenal to the top of the table in a 2-0 victory over
struggling Aston Villa at Villa Park on Sunday.
The Frenchman's rich vein of form continued as he opened
the scoring from the penalty spot against Remi Garde's side,
whose winless run in the top flight now stands at 15
matches.
Giroud had netted his first Arsenal hat-trick - which also
included a penalty - in Wednesday's 3-0 Champions League
success at Olympiacos, and the striker now has five goals in
his last three games across all competitions.
Mesut Ozil laid on his 13th Premier League assist this term
to set up Aaron Ramsey for Arsenal's second shortly before
half-time, and there was no looking back for Arsene
Wenger's side.
Mean while, Divock Origi scored in injury time to earn Liverpool a 2-2
draw with West Brom at Anfield on Sunday.
Jonas Olsson's 73rd-minute header looked to have sealed a
famous win for the visitors after Craig Dawson had
capitalised on a Simon Mignolet mistake to cancel out
Jordan Henderson's opener at Anfield.
And finally Newcastle United climbed out of the Premier League
relegation zone with a last-gasp 2-1 comeback win at
Tottenham.
Mauricio Pochettino's men seemed set to extend their
unbeaten run in the league to 15 matches and climb into the
top four after Eric Dier glanced home his third goal of the
campaign from Christian Eriksen's 39th-minute corner.
