Keen to get back into the game, the visitors upped the tempo and very nearly reduced the deficit through Aidy Barlow, who saw a header bound for the top corner saved spectacularly by Macey.

As the full-time whistle neared, Nketiah turned with speed and strength on the break, capping off a fine run with a composed finish to stretch the Gunners lead to three.
