Arsenal thrashed Huddersfield Town 5-0 on Wednesday as a second-half onslaught helped to maintain their 100 percent home record in the Premier League this season.

Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil were on target as Arsenal scored three times in four minutes after the break to gallop away from a Huddersfield side who had recovered well having fallen behind to Alexandre Lacazette's early opener.

Olivier Giroud came off the bench to score twice as Arsenal remained in fourth place, 12 points behind leaders Manchester City and two ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool.

The margin of victory flattered Arsenal, although the quality of their finishing was sublime.

"The last 20 minutes became comfortable but I would say Huddersfield did fight very well," manager Arsene Wenger said.

83' - The boy is ridiculous. Mo Salah capitalises on an Eric Pieters error deep inside the Stoke half to slot the ball past Lee Grant and make it 3-0 to the visitors.

The Egyptian now has 17 goals for the season in all competitions.
