Kai Havertz has scored his second goal from Arsenal following some brilliant build-up play from Bukayo Saka.
Saka redeemed a missed penalty earlier in the game, to produce a brilliant piece of play on the right-wing.
The English winger fended off the challenge of Marcos Alonso to lob a ball to the back post which was met by the head of Martin Odegaard before being turned in by Havertz.
The Premier League side have looked lively against Barcelona, with Saka in particular looking impressive.
The 21-year-old opened the scoring for Arsenal at SoFi Stadium to cancel out Robert Lewandowski’s opener.

A poor penalty later on from Saka meant the scores stayed level before a deflected Raphinha free-kicked gave the Spanish side the lead.
The younger Englishman had his head in his hands after drilling the penalty well-wide of Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s goal.
However, he made up for the miss with some brilliant play in the lead up to Havertz’ goal, with Arsenal’s midfield linking up well throughout.
The equaliser signals Havertz second goal since his signing from Chelsea and prompted some excitement among Arsenal fans.
One fan said: "Kai really comes alive as a player in the box. You almost don't notice him until it comes to the finishing moment. Moves like a proper striker."
Another wrote: "Havertz deserves that!"
A third quipped: "Chelsea fans you can go sleep now my boy Havertz scored."
