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.

Arsenal get a huge slice of luck there. Jason Puncheon's shot appears to strike Koscielny on the arm, but nothing is given.

Aaron Mooy has delivered a couple of teasing free-kicks in in the last few minutes, and Leno comes but is not punished with the first before Monreal does well to clear ahead of Schindler.
GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Bournemouth (Wijnaldum 34')
Brilliance from the Dutchman, who chips the ball into the Bournemouth net in some unbelievable display of skill.
The goalkeeper is no more than a yard off the line, but that does not stop Wijnaldum from lobbing him after receiving Robertson's pass.

An intense affair at Vicarage Road without the chances to show for it...until this point.
Jose Holebas's poor back pass plays in Cenk Tosun, but Foster is out to deny the Turk.
At the other end, Richarlison has been in the wars on his return to Watford though.

Ben Hamer has already been beaten once today, but he wins this battle with Mkhitaryan.
Maitland-Niles drives down the right and plays it back to the Armenian, whose scuffed drive is easily saved.

Very little goalmouth action to talk about at St Mary's, but Pierre Emile Hojberg has been denied by Neil Etheridge in the last few minutes.
