Arsenal recorded their biggest win of the Premier League season today.
Mikel Arteta’s outfit ruthlessly dismantled Norwich City and returned to North London with an emphatic 5-0 victory.
In the last five games since losing at Everton, Arsenal have now netted 19 goals across all competitions.
That defeat at Goodison Park has proven a mere blip in an otherwise scintillating run of form for the Emirates Stadium club.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang remains exiled by Arsenal boss Arteta.
But the Spaniard can continue to rely on Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli who, with an average age of 21, are proving Arsenal’s leading lights in an attacking sense this season.
And Michael Owen has claimed that the ‘exciting’ times are coming back to the Gunners, but warned that there’s still a ways to go before they’re truly back and competing for Premier League titles et al.
He told Optus Sport: “There are at the moment [reasons for Arsenal fans to be optimistic]. It’s been a long time coming. There’s a couple of little signs of revival, a few young players. It’s exciting times but there’s a long way to go before they reproduce the great teams of 10, 15 or 20 years ago.”
Exciting
That’s as good a word as any to describe the current crop of young Gunners.
And worryingly for the Premier League, these players are only going to get so much better.
It’s also refreshing for Arsenal fans to know that none of their starlets have inflated egos or grandiose notions about themselves.
They seem like an honest bunch of hard-working kids who love football and it’s fasinating to see how much better they can become.
