Arsenal scored three times in the last 15 minutes to condemn Premier League strugglers Stoke to a heavy defeat, despite a fairly positive showing from the Potters in north London. Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette celebrates scoring his side's third goal of the game during the Premier League match at The Emirates Stadium, London. The Gabon striker added a second soon after, before substitute Alexandre Lacazette marked his return from knee surgery with another spot-kick. Arsenal took some time to get going and did not threaten the Stoke goal until the midway point of the first half. Wenger turned to fit-again Lacazette in the hope of adding a greater goal-threat, while Stoke introduced Saido Berahino in place of the injured Mame Biram Diouf.
