The visitors took the lead in the 36th minute through Adam Webster who powered the ball home after the ball fell kindly to him.

Five minutes into the second half Arsenal equalised as Alexandre Lacazette’s looping header from Mesut Ozil corner sailed into the net.

In the 63rd minute Arsenal thought they had taken the lead after David Luiz volleyed in Ozil’s free-kick but the goal was disallowed for offside following consultation with VAR.

And in the 80th minute Neal Maupay grabbed the winner with a glancing header into the bottom corner.
