Son fired home before half-time from James Maddison’s cross, but Arsenal made the perfect start following the restart when Romero was penalised for handball after he blocked Ben White’s shot from close proximity. “I think we went toe-to-toe with a top team and at times I thought we really asserted our dominance on the game.
