Arsenal substitute Sead Kolasinac, on for the injured Kieran Tierney, squared for the Brazilian to sweep the ball low past David Martin.

Pepe curled superbly into the top-left corner six minutes later to put the Gunners in front before Aubameyang volleyed in from Pepe's cross to make the score 3-1 after 69 minutes.
