Although Nuno Espirito Santo: Arsenal ended the year on top of the Premier League table after an outstanding second-half showing saw the Gunners cruise past third-placed Aston Villa 4-1.

This was the Gunners' fourth straight victory as they ended Villa's 11-match winning run in all competitions.

Villa showed enough in the first half to suggest they could achieve a club-record 12th straight win in all competitions, but the Gunners turned on the style to race four goals ahead with a scintillating second-half performance.
