BBC's Match of the Day will feature highlights from the game as part of its coverage of the day's pacesetters (BBC Sport).
It wasn't all straightforward, though - former Premier League assistant referee Darren Cann has said Arsenal should have had a penalty for a foul on Kai Havertz during the win (BBC Sport).

Away from the first team, Arsenal's U18s were in fine form too, thrashing Sunderland 3-0 in their own fixture (Arsenal.com).
On the transfer front, Football.London reports Arsenal have been linked with RB Leipzig's Antonio Nusa in a deal valued around £58m, though the report suggests there are hurdles to overcome before any January move could happen (Football.London).
