Arsenal set impressive goalscoring record
What is the best way to celebrate your birthday? Winning a game by five goals isn’t bad, as goals from Monreal; Ozil; Lacazette; Ramsey; and Alexis earned the Gunners an impressive victory on the day their manager turned 68.
But the gifts kept coming for Wenger, as his side set an impressive record. Sunday saw the north London giants score their 100th Premier League goal vs the Toffees, becoming the first club to net a century of goals against a single club in the English top-flight.
Harry Kane ends his Wembley hoodoo
