Arsenal left it late to sink Huddersfield and move up to third in the table.

Nine yellow cards were dished out by referee Paul Tierney in a fiery affair with Alexandre Lacazette having a first-half goal ruled out for offside.

But with seven minutes left on the clock Lucas Torreira popped up with an acrobatic finish from close range to give Unai Emery's side all three points.
