Arsenal’s right back, Ben White, made a straight attempt at goal straight into the hands of Pickford after a neat one-two with Odegaard.
Three minutes after Nketiah made way for Jesus, the Gunners had their goal, courtesy of substitute Trossard.
As the Toffees ran out of time, the home fans continued to yearn for more.
Leading the Arsenal attack line was Nketiah who started ahead of Gabriel Jesus, despite scoring a fabulous goal against United.
Mikel Arteta made a significant change in the starting lineup as Havertz made way for Pablo Vieira in the starting lineup.
