First-half goals from Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard set the Gunners on their way to a 21st league win of the season.
As well as a valuable three points, Mikel Arteta was handed a boost for the rest of the season with the return of Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian had been sidelined with a knee injury since November and came on in the 77th-minute.
