Ultimately very impressive from Arsenal in the end after falling behind and they could have won by more than 3-1. Stoke's wait for a win at the Gunners will now go into a 36th year.

Thanks very much for joining us. You can follow all the reaction to Saturday's Premier League football here while the developing match report is here.

Cheerio and enjoy your Saturday evening. 

Top of the league for Arsenal. It may last less than 24 hours but they won't care.

Chance for Olivier Giroud but he heads wide. The cross came from Hector Bellerin. Again.

Marko Arnautovic has had a frustrating afternoon. He has had one or two opportunites but had to watch Arsenal score three really good goals.

Heads are going down among the Stoke players, but if they get a goal back now it might be an interesting last couple of minutes.

Three added minutes...

The game being played almost exclusively in the Stoke half. Remember, Arsenal can't afford to concede if they want to be top tonight.

Arsene Wenger has got to keep Sanchez and Ozil. What would it take to replace them? That's what you have to think about, regardless of wages. 

They are irreplaceable. You are not going to be able to get that kind of talent into Arsenal.

Arsenal pressing for the fourth but Theo Walcott's cross across the box can't locate a team-mate. 

Julien Ngoy, a 19-year-old Belgian, comes on for a surely beaten Stoke, making his Premier League debut in replacing Xherdan Shaqiri. 

Lee Grant, not for the first time today, gets down to make an excellent stop, keeping out Walcott again. 

Charlie Adam is replaced by Ramadan Sobhi. 

Alexis Sanchez is replaced by Olivier Giroud. Five goals so far this season for the Frenchman in the league but still no starts outside cup competitions. 

And the big fella gets up at the far post to head down and Petr Cech does really well to keep it out! Nearly worked a treat for Mark Hughes.

Crouch was the last English player to score for Stoke in the Premier League - in May 2015. The Potters have scored 55 times since then.

Joe Allen spreads play, it comes back to the Welshman and he wins a corner... the perfect time to introduce Peter Crouch!

Oxlade-Chamberlain off, Alex Iwobi on for Arsenal.

Marko Arnautovic moves inside and lets fly from 25 yards but it's wide and wild. Better from Stoke though who are threatening an equaliser all of a sudden.

Another chance - for Diouf this time - he's unmarked in the centre of the box but heads well wide. 

Mame Biram Diouf wins a corner for Stoke but the visitors can't do anything with it.

It is like someone flicks a switch and Arsenal go into turbo gear. Ozil showed pace, picked out Oxlade-Chamberlain. He looked sharp coming in from left side. That was a chance.

Alexis Sanchez bears down on goal but Erik Pieters gets across just in time. All Arsenal now. 

Bellerin drives forward again but isn't quite able to pull a cross back before the ball goes out of play. He's been excellent since replacing the injured Mustafi.
