Kai Havertz then smoothly finished a counterattack to make it 4-1, guaranteeing the visitors would have no way back.
Ethan Nwaneri, who came on as a substitute, made a huge impact as the game wrapped up, scoring a brilliant goal with the final kick to seal a dominant 5-1 win for Arsenal. With this victory, they’ve now won 14 league games in a row, which is an impressive streak.
