Arsenal vs Huddersfield
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Emirates Stadium
Kick-off: 3pm, December 8
Lucas Torreira scored with a bicycle kick in the 82nd minute to earn Arsenal a 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town in a scrappy Premier League game on Saturday.
The Uruguayan leapt to volley the ball from a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pass across the face of goal, securing all three points for the Gunners who otherwise only distinguished themselves by having three players - Granit Xhaka, Shkodran Mustafi and Matteo Guendouzi - booked for diving.
Arsenal climbed to third in the table ahead of Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur's matches later on Saturday, while Huddersfield slipped back into the relegation zone, in 18th place.
