English Premier News :: Arsenal ease past Norwich in 5-0 Boxing Day win

Posted on 2021-12-26 by Gooner

Bukayo Saka scored twice as Arsenal continued their bid for Champions League qualification in a comfortable 5-0 victory away at Norwich City on Sunday.

Saka opened the scoring early on before defender Kieran Tierney doubled Arsenal's lead just before half-time. Saka added a third just after the hour-mark.

Norwich's hopes were put to bed as striker Alexandre Lacazette scored a penalty in the final 10 minutes. Midfielder Emile Smith Rowe then helped turn the result into a thrashing as he scored Arsenal's fifth just before full-time.

Sunday's result moves Arsenal to 35 points after 19 games as manager Mikel Arteta's side earned their four-consecutive league win, aiding their bid to qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 2017.

"It's a very satisfying result because in this festive period we have to keep performances to a high level," Arteta said. "We looked really sharp and committed."
