Arsenal’s Christmas party helps stars get over Everton defeat by stepping out with Wags at West End theatre and the W hotel
Arsene Wenger not present as Gunners take in La Soirée before carrying on at hotel bar
ARSENAL stars got over their midweek defeat to Everton by enjoying a Christmas party in London's West End.
Most of the squad - along with their Wags - headed to Leicester Square to watch La Soirée, before heading to the nearby W hotel to carry on the festivities.
Arsene Wenger did not head out with players, the French boss probably preparing for Sunday's massive clash at Manchester City.
The Gunners now find themselves six points behind leaders Chelsea, who could go even further clear at the top if they beat Crystal Palace on Saturday lunchtime.
