EPL: Arsenal sees off Huddersfield with Torreira’s late strike

Lucas Torreira’s late overhead kick gave Arsenal a hard-fought 1-0 win over Huddersfield and extended their unbeaten run to 21 games.

Unai Emery’s side were frustrated for long periods during a tetchy encounter at the Emirates but Torreira’s acrobatic effort from close range (83) was enough to secure all three points for the hosts.

Referee Paul Tierney was kept busy with nine players booked in total, three for simulation, as tempers flared either side of the break while Alexandre Lacazette had a goal controversially disallowed for offside in the first half.

The win lifts Arsenal to third in the table while Huddersfield drop into the relegation places after a third defeat on the bounce.
