Still, Dean Smith’s side got one back but it was too late.
Goals: 1:0 – 23` Partey, 2:0 – 45’ Aubameyang, 3:0 – 56’ Smith-Rowe, 3:1 – 82’ Ramsey.
Coach Mikel Arteta, who has been under a lot of criticism lately, gave his assessment of the match:
“I’m really satisfied with the way we started, our tempo, urgency, how dominant we were. We really believed we could do it against a really good side. We wanted to put the result on Monday aside. They did learn from that Crystal Palace draw. We started to win the game with the reaction they had from Monday. We are the youngest team in the league. We can’t change that. We have to find why these things happen and put them right.”
