Bukayo Saka stood in front of the ball and slotted it easily past Mark Travers as the Gunners went into half-time with the lead.

Saka got the ball and played it to Rice who slipped a clever pass to Leandro Trossard on his left, he coolly slotted it past the goalkeeper and that doubled Arsenal's tally.
