Overview
- The victory moved Arsenal nine points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.
- Viktor Gyokeres scored in the 89th minute from Piero Hincapie’s cross, and Max Dowman added a late second.
- Reports stated Dowman became the youngest Premier League scorer at 16 years and 73 days.
- In his first league start since February 4, Riccardo Calafiori executed a scorpion-kick block to deny Dwight McNeil and logged 93% passing, six recoveries and 4/4 aerial duels before a 73rd-minute substitution.
- Coverage suggested Hincapie remains first choice at left-back and is expected to start against Bayer Leverkusen, with Calafiori likely on the bench ahead of the March 22 Carabao Cup final.
