The Gunners had to respond after substitute Douglas Luiz cancelled out Gabriel Jesus’ opener with a second-half equaliser direct from a corner less than a minute after coming on.

The result makes it five wins from five since the start of the season for the Gunners, the first time they have achieved this feat since 2004/05, and keeps them two points clear at the top of the table.

Liverpool leave it late

Fabio Carvalho’s goal in the eighth minute of stoppage time gave Liverpool a dramatic 2-1 win over Newcastle United at Anfield.
