A long-range strike by Martinelli secured victory for Arsenal, with a fortuitous deflection off Nathan Ake aiding the hosts.

Arsenal now occupies the second position in the Premier League standings with 20 points. At the helm is Tottenham, who hold a superior goal difference compared to the Gunners. Manchester City, on the other hand, sits in third place with 18 points.
