Softfootball reports Ismaila Sarr briefly levelled for the hosts before Kai Havertz restored Arsenal’s advantage, while Gabriel Martinelli and Declan Rice added further goals after the break to complete an emphatic win.

According to Opta, the result made Arsenal the first top-flight English club to score five or more goals in six different away matches across all competitions within a single calendar year.

The Gunners had previously recorded similar high-scoring victories against teams including Sporting Lisbon and West Ham earlier in the campaign.

The latest triumph also strengthened Mikel Arteta’s side in the Premier League title race while underlining their attacking quality.

Arsenal have now scored freely both at home and on the road, with their recent performances highlighting the confidence and consistency they have developed this season.
