ARSENAL came from behind to post another victory ahead of the international break.
Goals from Kai Havertz, substitute Gabriel Martinelli and a late third by Bukayo Saka cancelled out Cameron Archer’s opener 10 minutes after the interval, as the Gunners remained level with Manchester City on 17 points, with table-toppers Liverpool a point ahead.
