Gyokeres crashed his first in from 10 yards within six minutes of coming on to effectively settle the win. The Swede signed for £64million from Sporting Lisbon now has 13 for the season and six in his last eight appearances. More VAR confusion brought the first half to a close when Sunderland claimed a foul on Ballard at a corner. Gyokeres and Martinelli came on and were both influential as the game became stretched and more space appeared. Martinelli created Arsenal's third for Gyokeres who was taken out by a late challenge as he applied the finish.
