Arsenal edge a thriller in Wales, as the Gunners' strikers produce a fantastic second-half performance.
There has been much talk since Unai Emery's Arsenal career began, regarding his style of playing out from the back.
Many have been critical, saying that he simply doesn't have the squad to suit his modern style of football.
Petr Cech was very nearly caught out really early on, when a pass intended for the midfield was intercepted by Harry Arter, who couldn't apply the finish - summing up the host's season thus far.
Cardiff were made to pay for that, not long after, when Skhodran Mustafi headed in from a Granit Xhaka corner and the away side were in the lead in the Welsh capital.
Alexandre Lacazette, who was Arsenal's best player in the first-half, was so close to making it 2-0 to the visitors, when his effort from outside the box rebounded off the post.
On the stroke of half-time, Joe Bennett's cross was controlled well by Victor Camarasa, who fired past Cech to score Cardiff's first goal of the season!
It was all square at the end of the first-half, and Camarasa's goal just before the whistle, is no more than Cardiff deserved.
The two strikers combined for Arsenal just after half-time when Lacazette set up his team-mate Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, who curled in a beauty from outside the box.
But Cardiff fought back again, when Sean Morrison's header across goal was put in by Danny Ward!
With just under ten minutes to go, Lacazette, who really impressed out there today put the Gunners in front again.
It was a great goal from the French talisman, who turned inside the box and hit an unstoppable strike into the top corner, from a tight angle as well.
Arsenal hold on to a 3-2 win in a fantastic game in the Welsh capital... Emery stated yesterday his wish to improve the side's away form - and it's certainly going in the right direction.
