Who else but Nicolas Pepe to open the scoring, then, as the former Arsenal man tapped a loose ball home after the Gunners failed to clear it away. The hosts’ deficit was soon doubled in similar fashion, as a David Raya save was deflected awkwardly into the path of Edouard Eyong, who headed home. Christian Norgaard emulated his feat shortly after, scoring his first Arsenal goal to keep the scoreline respectable at the break.
