4. They’ve had their magic moment

Every team that’s successful in winning a Premier League trophy has to experience that season-defining moment that will live on in their club’s history forever. Arsenal can already check that off with Danny Welbeck’s stoppage time winner versus Leicester.

You can bet that the Welbeck goal will be on the Arsenal DVD if they’re able to win a Premier League title. It was a magical finish that occurred at the perfect time for the Gunners. The fact that it happened to one of their chief rivals for the league’s top spot only makes it more marketable.

I’m not saying that Arsenal is fated to win the title, but if you’re inclined to believe in such things, you could point to the Welbeck goal for evidence. It had that magical quality that tends to exist on teams that are able to make history.

The only question I have is whether or not they had their season-defining moment too early. Usually they occur within the last couple games of the season for a title winner, and there’s still a lot of season left. The Gunners better hope they didn’t spend their magic moment too early in their quest for a title.
