Premier League club Arsenal got their fourth win in a row after they beat Stoke City 3-1 at home, with Aaron Ramsey, Per Mertesacker and Bacary Sagna scoring a goal each.

According to Sky Sports, it took just five minutes for Arsene Wenger's side to break the deadlock, with Asmir Begovic only able to parry a Mesut Ozil free-kick into the path of Ramsey, who reacted quickest to stroke into the back of the net.

Stoke City got a goal after 26 minutes but after 36 minutes, Arsenal restored their lead.

Wenger was forced into a late change to his starting XI when England forward Theo Walcott suffered a minor abdominal strain during the warm-up and was replaced by German youngster Serge Gnabry, the report said.
