da pinup bet： Arsenal’s Premier League campaign has brought enormous similarities to previous seasons.
da apostebet： An opening day home defeat soon followed by mid-season revival gave the Gunners supporters much cause for optimism. But a pre-Christmas collapse combined with a traditional Champions League last sixteen draw against Bayern Munich has since occurred, and it’s looking like the same old Arsenal.
Nonetheless, despite the problems that are starting to creep into the fold, the Gunners have scored some pretty spectacular strikes this campaign.
Arsene Wenger’s genius idea of moving Alexis Sanchez to a central striker role added with Theo Walcott’s goalscoring prowess, not to mention Olivier Giroud, Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also chipping in, has helped create some memorable final-third moments this season, and we’re not even at the halfway stage.
So without further ado, here’s our rundown of Arsenal’s five best goals of 2016/17 so far. Which is your favourite? Have we somehow missed out a banger? Let us know in the comments section below!
5. Theo Walcott – Chelsea
Theo Walcott’s strike against Chelsea was about as Arsenal as a goal can get.
Some beautiful neat passing resulted in Walcott literally walking the ball into the net to score Arsenal’s second against their London rivals.
The Gunners would win the game 3-0, but Walcott’s goal was a couple of moments of brilliance from the entire team.
4. Alexis Sanchez – West Ham
Alexis Sanchez has been Arsenal’s Player of the Season and his best goal came during a comprehensive away victory at the London Stadium against West Ham.
Sanchez latched onto a through pass, allowed the ball do the work as he approached goal and stepped-over into a chip, completely fooling Darren Randolph.
However, his goal wouldn’t be the best of the contest….
3. Mesut Ozil – Ludogorets Razgrad
German playmaker Ozil has added more goals to his game this season, having already scored nine in all competitions.
The midfielder’s strike against Ludogrets in the Champions League perfectly summed up his ability to almost ballet-like dance his way around the opposition.
Ozil made the defence look rather foolish as they all ended up on the ground before he slotted into an empty net.
2. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – West Ham
Goals, assists and moments of brilliance have witnessed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain finally come of age this season.
His goal against West Ham was of little consequence to the result but his ability to find space and fire a curling shot into the top corner showcased how deadly the England winger can be when in top form.
1. Granit Xhaka – Hull City
For many years Arsene Wenger has been missing a holding midfielder capable of competing with the physicality of the Premier League.
When he signed Granit Xhaka, he finally got his wish, but little did we know he was capable of scoring goals of this calibre.
Xhaka’s 30-yard strike against Hull added insult to injury for the Tigers, but the goal was a moment of sheer brilliance from the Swiss international.
