Arsenal doubled their lead in the 35th minute when Leandro Trossard’s clever chipped cross found Rice, who rose highest to head powerfully into the net, another display of the Gunners’ aerial dominance this season.
The hosts managed to have a shot on target as Arsenal secured a fifth straight Premier League victory, the past four without conceding.
Following the win, Arsenal became the first club in Premier League history to score eight goals from corners in their opening 10 games of a season.
The Gunners have been ranked as favourites to win the Premier League title for the first time since 2004 following their impressive start to the 2025/26 season.

According to Metro UK, the two-time UEFA Champions League winner is confident that the Gunners' manager, Mikel Arteta, has found a way to harness the greatness of the club.
The former Valencia manager ruled out the possibility of Manchester City posing a threat despite the capabilities of Pep Guardiola. He said:
"I understand why Mikel Arteta, Arsenal players and the fans will play down the idea that they have to win this season. The Ginners are currently the most consistent team and they've been building this team for the last three to four seasons.
"I actually tipped Arsenal for the title in the last three seasons and they fell short. I thought they should have been there last season when Liverpool won it because I thought if Manchester City dropped off, Arsenal would have been the team to lift the title.
"Left for me, Manchester City are not going to get back to a level they’ve been at previously and come back at Arsenal. Pep Guardiola is a genius but he hasn’t got the players or the team playing at the level needed.
"Liverpool are the only team but they would have to get back on track very quickly," per Goal.
