Specifically, both the first two goals, at 11′ and to 37′, came from corner kicks by Rice and Saka, respectively. In both cases the Gabriel it was he who got the header, however he was only credited with the first goal as the second was charged as an own goal in Henderson. Arsenal locked the “three points” in 59′with an excellent display of counterattack and scorer Trossard.
