Arsenal has won a Premier League away game by a five-goal margin for only the third time after thumping Norwich City this afternoon. In this Boxing Day match, the Gunners were in fine form, with Bukayo Saka scoring twice and Kieran Tierney, Alexandre Lacazette, and Emile Smith Rowe also scoring.

Saka scored his first goal after only six minutes, and his second after an hour. He is the second-youngest player to score 10-plus Premier League goals for Arsenal, after Nicolas Anelka, at the age of 20 years and 112 days.

Between Saka's two goals, Kieran Tierney extended Arsenal's lead, with Martin Odegaard giving his second assist of the game - the Norway international has been involved in six goals in his past six league games, two more than he had in his first 25 appearances.

Alexandre Lacazette added a fourth, and Emile Smith Rowe scored his league-leading third goal as a substitute after coming off the bench once more. Arsenal's five goals from replacements this season are the most in the Premier League.

Norwich was unable to get through Aaron Ramsdale as Arsenal recorded their joint-largest margin of victory away from home in a Premier League match, scoring four or more goals in successive away league games for the first time since 2009.

For the Third Time

Arsenal won 5-0, and massive wins like this on the road are surprisingly rare for them, even during the great Arsene Wenger era.

According to Opta Joe, this is only the third occasion Arsenal has won an away game by this amount, with 6-1 wins over Middlesbrough and Everton in 1999 and 2009, respectively.

Arsenal looked at the part as they ripped Norwich apart, even though this Norwich side is very poor, as they currently sit at the bottom of the Premier League table.
