Bukayo Saka opened the scoring for Arsenal in the 40th minute, then Brazilian Gabriel Martinelli added the second goal in the last minute of the first half.
In the second half, the hosts continued their superiority and added two more goals, through Norwegian captain Martin Odegaard in the 71st minute, and Martinelli again in the 80th minute.
According to the "Opta" statistics network, thanks to Saka and Martinelli's scoring today, Arsenal has become the only team in the English Premier League this season that has two players who have reached the 10-goal mark.
Arsenal are waiting for relatively easy matches in the English Premier League this March, as they face Bournemouth, Fulham and Crystal Palace, before opening the month of April against Leeds United and then Liverpool.
