Laura Woods couldn\u2019t resist poking fun at her talkSPORT colleague, Adrian Durham, who suggested Arsenal have been blessed by luck this season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gunners continued their title charge as they went five points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 4-0 thumping of Everton thanks to a brace from Gabriel Martinelli as well as strikes from Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.<\/p>\n

Arsenal tightened their grip at the top of the table with a win over Everton on Wednesday night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mikel Arteta\u2019s side have impressed for much of the campaign, but Durham believes they have had far too much luck along the way.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the victory on Wednesday night, he said: \u201cWell Arsenal are good, no question about that.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the definition of lucky is something that goes in your favour that you don\u2019t control. It\u2019s a wonderful thing, we all love a bit of luck now and then, Arsenal are having a huge amount of it just lately.\u201d<\/p>\n

Durham added: \u201cThere was no Casemiro when they faced United, [Moises] Caicedo and [Alexis] Mac Allister didn\u2019t play when the Gunners went to Brighton, [Luis] Diaz was injured for Liverpool in the first half at the Emirates.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo [Dejan] Kulusevski for the north London derby at home, no [James] Maddison when they went to Leicester at the weekend. In injury time at Aston Villa, an Arsenal shot hits the bar and goes in off the goalkeeper whereas a Villa shot hits the bar, goes away to safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Rodrigo [Bentancur] when they went to Spurs, [Joao] Palhinha will be suspended for Fulham when they meet a week on Sunday and tonight, it\u2019s just that little bit too soon for [Dominic] Calvert-Lewin to return.<\/p>\n

\u201cLittle things make big points and they\u2019re falling right into Arsenal\u2019s lap. The joke is over now, no team deserves this much luck, it\u2019s ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their trouncing of the Toffees couldn\u2019t be put down to luck and Woodsy couldn\u2019t resist having a dig at Durham afterwards.<\/p>\n

She tweeted: \u201cLet\u2019s be honest\u2026you can make a case like this for or against any team in any league in the history of football if you really have a lot of time on your hands and a secret Arsenal fetish.\u201d<\/p>\n

talkSPORT pundit Dean Ashton was purring at the performance of Mikel Arteta\u2019s men.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s champagne football now for Arsenal,\u201d he said after their fourth goal of the night.<\/p>\n

\u201cEddie Nketiah is a big part of this move. He initially gets it, plays it out wide and drifts in like a thief in the night in behind [Michael] Keane who just doesn\u2019t see him.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat ball down the side for him as well, he flashes it across and there is Martinelli. Really bright, across the front, we don\u2019t see it enough these days. Nips in, through the goalkeeper\u2019s legs. What a move from Arsenal.\u201d<\/p>\n
