What happened. Bruno Guimaraes scored from range to give Arsenal the lead after David Raya saved an Enzo Le Fee penalty, sealing a ninth successive Premier League victory. Raya praised the Brazilian for responding well after two injuries limited him since the Community Shield.

• Raya saved an Enzo Le Fee penalty before Guimaraes struck from distance
• Two injuries have stopped Guimaraes starting since the FA Community Shield
• Raya also noted Jurrien Timber's long-awaited return off the bench at half-time

“Obviously, Bruno has been very unlucky with his start. He had two little injuries that kept him out of the team.”
