Mikel Arteta rang the changes after the win over Bournemouth, as goalkeeper Matt Turner and match-winner Reiss Nelson came in, while defender Jakub Kiwior was handed his debut after signing in Janury.
Arsenal got the breakthrough in the 22nd minute through William Salbia, who lost his marker to head home Fabio Vieria's corner, silencing the home crowed in the process. With the first half ending all square, Arsenal came out firing in the second as Oleksander Zinchenko played in Gabriel Martinelli, who was denied by a superb save from Sporting goalkeeper Antonio Adan.
However, Arsenal weren't behind for too long as Granit Xhaka's throug-ball for Martinelli took a big deflection off Hidemasa Morita and sailed past a helpless Adan.
