Olivier Giroud's 86th-minute goal earned Arsenal a 1-0 victory over a resilient West Bromich Albion side at Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal dominated the first half with 80% of possession but conjured up only a handful of openings.
After the break, Ben Foster made two remarkable saves to deny Arsenal as Alexis Sanchez also struck a post from close range.
Claudio Yacob skied a shot over the bar from six yards before Giroud latched on to Mesut Ozil’s cross to head Arsenal to victory.
