WHAT HAPPENED?
Arsenal took the lead in the third minute through Jakub Kiwior, only for England international Eze to volley in Adam Wharton's corner with a controlled finish off the post just before the half-hour mark.

Incidentally, the 26-year-old has been linked with United, Tottenham, and more in the past.
