Arsenal made it back-to-back victories in the Premier League by overcoming Cardiff City 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening.
The Gunners took the lead through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's 66th-minute penalty after the visitors, still mourning the suspected death of record signing Emiliano Sala, spurned a number of opportunities.
Alexandre Lacazette added a second late on and, while Nathaniel Mendez-Laing did manage to pull one back in added time, the hosts held on to move level on points with the top four.

Unai Emery: "Our focus now is very clear - the Premier League. We're also going to play the Europa League with big motivation. It's one way to the Champions League. We need to be concentrated for the three points like we were against Chelsea."
Neil Warnock: "It has been a traumatic week and even now I can't get my head around the situation. It's impossible to sleep. I've been in football management for 40 years and it's by far the most difficult week in my career, by an absolute mile. It's probably hit me me harder than anyone else as I've met the lad and talked to him for the last six to eight weeks."
