Alexandre Lacazette had the Arsenal chances but was unable to direct his early free header on target then James Tarkowski made a fine goal-saving tackle to stop the Frenchman getting his shot away.

At the other end, Jeff Hendrick went closest for the hosts in the first half and then saw his header after the break miss the target before Rodriguez’s sitter.
