GREAT DEFENSIVE HEADER FROM GABRIEL
He does excellently to win the ball in a crowded penalty box to clear a dangerous Oxford cross.
54'
ARSENAL'S BEST CHANCE YET
Vieira runs onto a ball over the top and finds Saka in the box with a cheeky flick, who cuts inside and takes aim at goal. His effort beats McGinty but is stopped on the line and cleared for a corner.
50'
BETTER FROM MARTINELLI
He receives the ball out wide and twists and turns as he looks for a way into the Oxford box, proving to be difficult to manage, but the hosts get the ball off of him and put it out for a throw.
