Özil was superb, scoring once and creating goals for Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sánchez as Arsenal survived a brief wobble before continuing their recent resurgence with a ruthless destruction of Huddersfield. Arsenal have done well to respond after being outplayed by Manchester City at the start of the month. Wenger’s side are fourth, with a four-point lead over Tottenham Hotspur after three consecutive wins and clean sheets, and in a good place before hosting Manchester United on Saturday. “There is nothing that worries me about losing to Arsenal away and to Manchester City.” Wagner could argue that Huddersfield were swept away by a unique talent. Arsenal, as has so often been the case in the latter part of Wenger’s reign, have a grip on fourth.
