Goals Galore at the Emirates
Leandro Trossard opened the scoring for Arsenal in the 18th minute, followed by a goal from Ben White in the 52nd minute. Kai Havertz scored an own goal in the 63rd minute to make it 3-0, and Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli added goals in the 87th and 90th minutes, respectively.
White's Redemption

Arsenal's Title Hopes
Arsenal's victory strengthens their position as title favorites. The Gunners have now won 10 of their last 11 Premier League matches and have a two-point lead over Manchester City with a game in hand.
