Arsenal players celebrate at second Christmas party

Arsenal's players put their recent Premier League disappointments behind them by getting together for their second Christmas party of the month.

The Gunners were pegged back by Liverpool in the seventh minute of added time on the weekend, although the group looked in good spirits as they enjoyed another festive jolly.

Last week's Christmas jumper-themed party was followed up with a fancy sit-down dinner at a plush London venue yesterday evening, with the players being allowed to relax ahead of a gruelling fixture list in the coming weeks.

Lukas Podolski was among those to document the night on Instagram, posting the following snap.

My table tonight... Friends from countries far and wide! #AFC #Friends #Poldi #Together

Arsenal return to action on Boxing Day when they play host to Queens Park Rangers, before taking on an in-form West Ham United side two days later.
