GOALS from William Saliba and Oleksandr Zinchenko sealed victory for Arsenal after James Trafford leveller Leandro Trossard’s opener.

In a rare 3pm kick-off on a gloriously sunny Saturday afternoon in North London, Mikel Arteta’s side eased into second place in the Premier League, capitalising on Wolves’ late victory over Spurs in the lunchtime kick-off.

Despite dominating the opening stages, Trossard’s opener came in the first half of injury time, when the former Brighton attacker showed bravery to nod home Bukayo Saka’s corner while clattering into Clarets keeper James Trafford.
