Arsenal bounced back from Manchester United loss to edge relegation contenders Cardiff City with a 2-1 victory in the Premier League. The hosts created chances, but could not take it in the first half. They were controversially denied a penalty when Alexandre Lacazette was brought down inside the penalty box just moments before the half time whistle.
However, the Gunners received a penalty in the second half which was calmly converted by their talisman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to lead the game for the first time. Arsenal’s number 9 Alexandre Lacazette incredible solo run to beat four defenders in the 83rd minute gave them a two-goal cushion. Cardiff City pulled one back through Nathaniel Mendez-Liang, but that was not enough to make a comeback.
