There was no such luck for West Brom manager Irvine, though; his own supporters turned against him as they suffered a fourth defeat in five games. Wenger, however, still isnt out of the woods. Certainly not with a section of the clubs support. Even as they celebrated victory, supporters made their feeling towards Wenger crystal clear.

He was able to revert back to his preferred central defensive partnership of Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny, the France international fully-recovered from an Achilles problem to make his first appearance in two months. Likewise, Olivier Giroud made his first start since the end of August following a broken ankle at the Hawthorns, though keeper Wojciech Szczesny again missed out with a hip injury as third choice Damien Martinez made his second consecutive start.

Following their morale-boosting win over Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday night, Arsenal started brightly - Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez testing Ben Foster with efforts from the edge of the box inside the opening 10 minutes.
