Lucas Torreira insisted it was essential that Arsenal took maximum points against Huddersfield following their midweek draw against Manchester United.

Unai Emerys side looked set to lose further ground in the race for Champions League qualification until Torreira popped up in the 83rd minute with a spectacular overhead kick to secure a dramatic late victory.

It was the summer signing from Sampdorias second goal in successive matches after he capped last weekends north London derby win with his first goal for the club and he was delighted to make another decisive contribution.
