Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal survived a scare to grind out a win over Huddersfield Town to boost their hopes of finishing inside the top four.
The Gunners raced into a 2-0 lead thanks to Alex Iwobi and Alexandre Lacazette.
But Town responded well, but their goal came too late to provide more pressure in pursuit of a point, with Sead Kolasinac putting through his own net in stoppage time.
Relive the action as it happened above.
