End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME
It's over, much to the relief of the Arsenal players and supporters. They have been made to work for it but Unai Emery's side have their victory, courtesy of first-half goals by Alex Iwobi and Alexandre Lacazette. The Gunners move to within a point of fourth-placed Manchester United.
90'+3
GOAL! Huddersfield 1-2 Arsenal
They have done it - Huddersfield have scored a goal after more than 10 hours since their last one! Is it an own goal? They won't care! Leno gets a foot to Diakhaby's shot but it looks like Kolasinac gets the final touch as the ball rolls over the line!

There will be FOUR minutes of added time to play. Without a goal in 10 hours, can Huddersfield score two in four minutes?
88'
Arsenal will remain sixth with victory but they will close the gap on fourth-placed Manchester United to one point. Huddersfield, who now haven't scored in 10 hours, remain bottom with just 11 points.
87'
ARSENAL SUB: Iwobi takes his time to leave the pitch when his number comes up. He makes way for Joe Willock in Arsenal's third and final switch.

OFF THE LINE! It just won't go in for Huddersfield! Grant rounds Leno but Monreal is in the right place at the right time to hack his tame shot off the line for Arsenal.

HUDDERSFIELD SUB: Karlan Ahearne Grant comes on for his home debut. Kachunga makes way.

SO CLOSE! Smith bends a delightful through-pass in front of the Arsenal defence for Depoitre to latch onto. His first touch sets him up perfectly for a shot but the substitute curls it agonisingly wide of Leno's far post.
76'
ARSENAL SUB: Suarez comes on for his second appearance, replacing Mkhitaryan as we approach the final 10 minutes.

75'
Huddersfield are going for this. They are throwing caution to the wind with an ultra-attacking approach in the last quarter of the game. Arsenal sense they can grab a third on the counter-attack.
73'
Denis Suarez is warming up for Arsenal.
72'
SHOT! Huddersfield aren't prepared to give up on this contest just yet - and they go close once more. Diakhaby has a crack from 20 yards, forcing Leno into a save. In fact, the Arsenal goalkeeper can't hold it! Koscienly reacts quickest to clear before Depoitre can bundle in the followup.
69'
GREAT CHANCE! Arsenal produce a rapid counter-attack - Mkhitaryan releases Iwobi who has to score... but he shoots straight at Hamer! The Huddersfield goalkeeper does brilliantly to stay big there but it's a chance wasted as far as Arsenal are concerned.
67'
HUDDERSFIELD SUB: Laurent Depoitre will take the place of Puncheon.

JUST WIDE! It's wave after wave of Huddersfield attack at the moment but it's just not happening for them. Puncheon volleys one towards goal, the last touch comes off Diakhaby but Leno watches it go wide.
64'
OFF THE WOODWORK! Durm's cross takes a deflection and ends up crashing off Leno's crossbar! It isn't going to be Huddersfield's day, is it?
63'
Huddersfield have had 66 per cent of possession since the restart - and yet Arsenal still look fairly comfortable.
61'
CHANCE! Kolasinac stands up a cross into the centre. Lacazette looks certain to head in Arsenal's third but Elneny comes charging in and takes it off him! And the substitute, who is obviously desperate for a goal, nods it over! The Frenchman isn't happy. At all.
59'
ARSENAL SUB: Mohamed Elneny comes on for Torreira in midfield.

SHOT! Bacuna tries an ambitious effort from 20 yards but the shot is always drifting wide. The hosts, like they have for much of the season, are lacking quality in the final third.
