Despite a first-half hiccup with a Gabriel own goal, Arsenal, on a two-game winning streak, dominated the proceedings. Bukayo Saka’s opening goal set the tone. In the second half, a defensive error by Virgil van Dijk and Alisson allowed Gabriel Martinelli to capitalize, restoring Arsenal’s lead. Leandro Trossard’s stoppage-time goal sealed the impressive win.
