The scoreline is very flattering to The Gunners, and you have to feel for Stoke City, who have given a good account of themselves today.

TIME FOR THE BIG MAN
The big man - Peter Crouch - has been brought on. I'd like an equaliser solely to see him celebrate by doing the robot.

69'
HITS THE WOODWORK
Xherdan Shaqiri whips a corner in, flying past everyone and crashing against the far upright. I don't think he meant it, but it was very close with Ospina beaten! The game is really opening up now.

SUBS
Alexandre Lacazette is on for Danny Welbeck - who has been really poor today, offering very little going forward. Saido Berahino is on for the visitors, replacing Mame Diouf.
61'
Substitution
Alexandre Lacazette (on). Danny Welbeck (off). (Arsenal)
Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey combine nicely to see the latter lay off for Welbeck, however he snatches at his chance, and volleys wide. Poor from the Arsenal man.

Xherdan Shaqiri whips a ball in, but it has too much on it and Ryan Shawcross cannot get it on target.

HITS THE WOODWORK

A very subdued mood at The Emirates Stadium today, with a lot of empty seats. It must have an impact on these players.
