Aaron Ramsey and Alex Lacazette scored late on to give Arsene Wenger three points in his penultimate Premier League home game as our manager.
Nacho Monreal put us ahead with a fine volley from Granit Xhaka’s corner but Marko Arnautovic smashed home an equaliser as the visitors hit back.
Ramsey’s attempted cross found its way into the net and Lacazette rifled in from a narrow angle before scoring again to settle this slow-burning London derby.
There was a real buzz around the Emirates as Friday’s news of Wenger’s imminent departure continued to sink in. But, for all the extra attention on the boss, the game initially struggled to ignite.
