Midfielder Rice then put the Gunners ahead after 54 minutes before adding a second with 19 minutes to go.

Eli Junior Kroupi landed a brilliant strike from range just five minutes later to provide Mikel Arteta's Gunners with a nervy finish but the visitors held on to move six points clear at the top.
