Unai Emery’s side had not played for 18 days with the manager making a number of changes to the starting line-up, including dropping Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to the bench.
Arsenal thought they had taken an early lead when Aaron Ramsey converted a corner at the far post, but it was ruled out for a foul.
Referee Anthony Taylor ruled Sokratis Papastathopoulos to have pulled Florian Lejeune’s shirt.
Ramsey did not have too much longer to wait to get on the scoresheet as he hit the back of the net again after half an hour – and this one stood.

Ramsey was also had a goal ruled out for offside
After his flick set Alexandre Lacazette clear, he surged into the box and stroked the loose ball into the bottom corner.
Only a brilliant goal-line clearance from Matt Ritchie denied Arsenal a second on the stroke of half-time.
The winger was a brilliant last line of defence to block Lacazette’s fierce volley as it stayed 1-0.
