    Arsenal 1-0 Huddersfield

    And Arsenal do hold on as Paul Tierney blows his whistle.

    The Gunners are unbeaten in 21 matches in all competitions and move third in the Premier League for now, with Chelsea and Spurs to play later.

    Huddersfield played a blinder for long periods, frustrating their hosts, but were undone by a moment of sublime quality by Lucas Torreira.

    The Terriers slip into the bottom three.

    Jonas Lossl is out of his area for a Huddersfield free kick!

    It rattles around outside the Arsenal area and the hosts get it under control.

    Lossl sprints back and his defence do well enough to slow Arsenal down.

    Matteo Guendouzi is slid in but Lossl is back and smothers the ball, also doing well not to foul the young Gunner.

    Loads of cards and injuries in this one.

    The result? Seven minutes of added time.

    Arsenal 1-0 Huddersfield

    Laurent Depoitre is set clear down the left into the area.

    Sokratis comes across and gives him a bit of a nudge as Depoitre falls to the fall.

    Paul Tierney confuses everyone by sticking his arm straight out but it's just to award a goal kick, not a penalty.

    Depoitre is incensed and gets Sokratis goading him for good measure.

    GOAL - Arsenal 1-0 Huddersfieldpublished at 82 mins

    Lucas Torreira

    WHAT A GOAL.

    The little Uruguayan pulls out a blinding bicycle kick to put Arsenal in front.

    Matteo Guendouzi floats in a ball to the back post, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang manages to bring it down and clips a deft reverse pass back across the six-yard box.

    It's drifting slightly behind Lucas Torreira but he rises to acrobatically volley the ball into the net.

    Matteo Guendouzi picks up Arsenal's third yellow card for simulation today.

    He gets round Aaron Mooy in the area and drops to the floor.

    There is nothing much in it and it's definitely not a foul. Paul Tierney is not impressed and produces the card.

    Granit Xhaka tries a low drive from distance. It's a bit desperate and is easily blocked.

    Alex Iwobi does brilliantly to keep the ball away from Aaron Mooy and leave the Huddersfield midfielder behind.

    But his attempted pass to release Sead Kolasinac is poor and Huddersfield clear.

    Only briefly mind as Arsenal come forward again but Henrikh Mkhitaryan's cross skips through everyone in the area and deflects off Kolasinac for a goal kick, with the Arsenal defender slow to react.

    "Calm down," motions Unai Emery on the bench.

    Lucas Torreira and Sokratis just look at each other as Laurent Depoitre gets to the ball first.

    Alex Iwobi dabs a terrific pass to release Sead Kolasinac in behind and the left wing-back clips the ball across.

    But he can't find a red shirt and Huddersfield hack it clear.

    Brief appeals for a penalty for handball but nothing doing.
