Yesterday Livingston-Celtic ................................ 0-0 Rangers-Motherwell ......................... 7-1

After playing poorly in the first half, Arsenal piled on the pressure after halftime and should have equalised when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was presented with a close-range chance off Hector Bellerin’s right-wing cross. Aubameyang didn’t get a proper connection and scuffed his effort against the outside of the post.

Mkhitaryan grabbed the late equaliser that left Arsenal in fifth place, eight points adrift of leader City and three points off the top four. Its unbeaten streak in all competitio­ns extended to 16 matches heading into the two-week internatio­nal break.

Wolves almost snatched victory in the last move of the match, but substitute Morgan Gibbs-White’s longrange effort struck the top of the post and bounced agonisingl­y across the goal line to safety.
