Have to say, on second look that is straight up embarrassing.”
Goals from Granit Xhaka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were all the Gunners needed to cruise to victory after regulation period. The victory ensured the north Londoners overtake the Red Devils at the fourth position with two points better than the visitors.
