Eddie Nketiah and Bukayo Saka netted first half goals to put Arsenal in control, however Taiwo Awoniyi scored late on to give Mikel Arteta a nervy final period. While the north Londoners would have been happy to take home all three points, Arteta has a fresh ιɴjυɾу wօɾɾу for one of his new signing.
