The Gunners then thought they deserved a penalty in the 38th minute, when Cedric’s shot appeared to hit Yoan Wissa’s arm. But instead, a corner was awarded. The breakthrough finally came early in the second half, when Emile Smith Rowe fired low into the corner for 1-0.

Bukayo Saka then made it 2-0 11 minutes from time when he finished in off the post after being set up by Thomas Partey. Christian Norgaard pulled a goal back for the Bees late on, but it wasn’t enough.
