- 67' Magnificent from Bukayo Saka! That is 96 goals in 414 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 72' Time for substitution for Norwich City FC. Josh Sargent is replaced by Adam Idah.
- 75' Mohamed El Neny gets the nod from Arsenal FC. He replaces Thomas Partey and will look to change the dynamic.

- 0-5 the final result. Norwich City FC will be bitterly disappointed.
