But parity lasted less than three minutes as Arsenal provided another glimpse of their new-found resolve to go back in front for good courtesy of [Gabriel Martinelli](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/269844/Gabriel-Martinelli). But Arsenal were not to be denied. "The way we are performing and playing, we need to continue.
