Despite the equaliser, Arsenal remained composed and continued to dominate territory and possession.

The goal highlighted Arsenal’s efficiency from dead-ball situations. Jesus’ header marked the club’s 19th goal from corners this season, the highest tally among Europe’s top five leagues.

Substitute Viktor Gyokeres put the result beyond doubt six minutes from time, curling a precise finish from the edge of the box.
