Shortly after, Leandro Trossard scored with a left-footed shot, giving Arsenal the lead.
In the second half, Arsenal maintained control but missed several opportunities to extend their advantage.
Despite these missed chances, they held on to secure the win. This victory, as observed by WorldClass247News, elevates Arsenal to 43 points from 21 games, now trailing league leaders Liverpool by four points, though Liverpool has a game in hand.
