Arsenal summer signings Ben White, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Nuno Tavares all came on as substitutes for their home debuts.
England international White, a £50m capture from Brighton, was quickly into the action, doing well to clear Hakim Ziyech’s effort off the line early in the second half.
More than 20,000 fans attended the game at Emirates Stadium following the relaxation of UK government coronavirus restrictions, the biggest attendance at the ground since March 2020.
