Arsenal have topped the English Premier League standings, for the time-being, after coming back from a goal down to beat Stoke City 3-1.

The visitors surprisingly went ahead before the 30th minute after winning a penalty, which was smoothly taken by Charlie Adam.

But, it didn’t take long before the Gunners equalized, as Mustafi sprinted down the right and found Theo Walcott with a cross in the dying minutes of the first half.

Five minutes into the second half, Arsenal struck again, and this time it was thanks to a superb header by Mesut Ozil.

And with 15 minutes left on the clock, Alex Iwobi gave the North Londoners even more comfort. By wrapping up the 3-1 victory, the Gunners moved to the top of the Premier League table, level on 34 points with Chelsea, who have a game in hand.
