Arsenal 6-0 BATE Borisov: How it happened
What happened
The goals rained in as we rounded off our Europa League group stage in fine style, bringing up Arsène Wenger's 700th win as Arsenal boss in the process.
Emirates Stadium was barely half full for what was essentially a dead rubber against the newly-crowned Belarussian champions. But those who had braved the cold Islington night were rewarded with a six-goal show from the ruthless Gunners.
We had already ensured top spot as we brought our Group H campaign to a close, and as expected the manager made 11 changes from Saturday's lineup. But the boss did spring something of a surprise by reverting to a back four for the first time since April.
