Arsenal continued their Premier League resurgence with a ruthless victory over strugglers West Brom at The Hawthorns.
Alexandre Lacazette added the third and fourth goals after the break – smashing in a rebound from Emile Smith Rowe’s shot before he was set up by Tierney.
It was Arsenal’s third league victory in a row after they had failed to win their previous seven.
West Brom, playing their fourth match under new manager Sam Allardyce, remain second from bottom and six points from safety.
“The perfect way to start the New Year, we’ve won three in a row so we want to keep building. We’re really happy with the performance,” Saka said.
“It was so cold but I was getting so many touches in good positions, so I enjoyed the game a lot.”
The result sees Arsenal creep up to 11th place in the Premier League while West Brom remain mired in 19th place in the relegation zone.
