It was quite a comfortable win in the end, albeit a narrow one.
Merino was closest to adding to the score line with a sidefoot volley from a Martinelli cross that was well saved by Sanchez.
Generally, the game was characterised by some full-blooded challenges and, in the end, the team that wanted it most won.
Tierney and Nwanieri came on as substitutes to help Arsenal see out a game that they deserved to win on the balance of play and chances created.
Now all Arsenal can do is try to keep winning to maintain second spot, as the points gap between them and Liverpool is too large to bridge.
