Declan Rice swung in a wicked corner and Jurrien Timber rose high to nod home the opener. The Dutch defender wasn\u2019t done yet \u2014 just before half-time, he slipped a neat ball to Bukayo Saka, who blasted it into the net with his weaker foot to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1225\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gyokeres_Breaks_His_Duck\"><\/span>Gy\u00f6keres Breaks His Duck<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1226\" data-end=\"1416\">The second half saw Arsenal step it up another gear.
