Arsenal completed a comfortable 3-0 victory in the first leg of their last 32 Europa League tie this evening against Ostersunds in Sweden.
An own goal, a Mesut Ozil strike and another from Nacho Monreal proved to be enough for Arsene Wenger’s men as they took control ahead of the return leg next week at the Emirates.
David Ospina also saved a late penalty to preserve the clean sheet for the Gunners.
It was a comfortable evening for the Gunners as they named a strong side against the European rookies on a cold night in Sweden.
It could have, in truth, been more had the Gunners been more ruthless in front of goal but they go to the second leg as massive favourites in this tie.
Winning the Europa League looks like being Arsenal’s best chance of getting back into the Champions League and they started brilliantly. They will look to build on this next week in the return leg.
Here is how we rated Arsenal’s players.
