5) Yaya Sanogo can score
It may have taken him 19 matches, but the Frenchman has finally scored for the North London club. It was a pretty good goal as well. This may not be the start of an unstoppable run of scoring, but at least the millstone will no longer be around his neck.
4) Santi Cazorla regains form
The 29-year-old had a good game on Wednesday, and it is a timely return to form. With the glut of injuries in midfield the Spaniard will be sorely needed in the next month. If he can continue to play like this then he can make Gooners forget about their team’s fitness problems.
3) Borussia Dortmund have been ruined by Bayern Munich
This was not the same Dortmund team that reached the Champions League final and really challenged Bayern in the Bundesliga. They have been seriously damaged by the sales of Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski, and it looks like it will take a lot of time to get back to where they were. That’s if they ever do.
2) Alexis Sanchez is always going to be key
Arsene Wenger’s side may have played well in their Champions League encounter, but the Chilean still stood out. It would seem that even when he isn’t being forced to drag his team from the mire Sanchez has made the Gunners reliant on him.
1) Injury problems continue
With Mikel Arteta’s injury last night, the North London club’s injury problems continue. These problems have held them back massively so far this campaign, and looks like they are going to continue to do so.
