Alan McInally reflects on the game at the Emirates as West Brom visited Arsenal

Alan McInally gives his review of the fixture between Arsenal and West Brom.

Arsenal ended 2016 on a high as Olivier Giroud netted the winner four minutes from time in a 1-0 victory at home to West Brom on Boxing Day.

Arsene Wenger's men led the Premier League on January 1 but it's been another 12 months of underachievement and this result epitomised that frustration up until Giroud's late winner on his first Premier League start of the season.

Ben Foster starred for the resilient Baggies, making a string of saves early in the second half while Alexis Sanchez also struck the post for the hosts.

The victory moves Arsenal, who had lost their two previous games, into third but they remain nine points behind Chelsea in the title race. Arsenal's north London rivals Tottenham are now four points behind the Gunners albeit with a game in hand.
