The defending champions were made to suffer after the German's 16th-minute opener but held out for what could be a telling win in their quest to retain the title.

Arsenal climbed three points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.

But with City expected to be hit with a severe points penalty, unless they can overturn a guilty verdict on over 100 charges of breaking Premier League rules, Arsenal dealt a huge blow to their most likely rivals for the title.
