The first half was a worrying sign for the Gunners who created incredibly little. Raheem Sterling and Leandro Trossard were caught offside more times each than the side had shots.
Ethan Nwaneri would hit the bar in the second half to give some belief that a goal was coming for Arsenal. Then he managed to try another magical strike which struck the post square-on.
He would take a break from shooting, however, to find the perfect cross. Curling a ball to the back-post where Mikel Merino would leap and head into the back of the net, before the midfielder added another on a breakaway to seal all three points.
David Raya – Had very little to do in the first half and was tested only with a half-hit volley from Wilfred Ndidi which he comfortably collected. 7
Jurrien Timber – Strong on the right-hand side, finding good passes and support to Ethan Nwaneri. Reliable in tight spaces but did lack the overlapping threat still other full-backs offer. 7
William Saliba – After a tricky start to the year, William Saliba was back to hit best again and looked composed at the back for Arsenal. Rarely tested by Jamie Vardy during the game. 7
Gabriel Magalhaes – Similar to Saliba, faced few tests during the game but sadly could not have the impact he has become infamous for in the opposition box. 7
