Arsenal v Vorskla

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice as we eased to a comfortable victory against Vorskla in our opening game of the Europa League group stage.

The big news prior to kick off was the inclusion of Bernd Leno for his debut and Lucas Torreira named in the team for his first start, and much intrigue surrounded that pair.

In truth, the German goalkeeper didn’t have much to do in the first half but always looked comfortable in possession – and one scooped pass over Vorskla attacker Vladyslav Kulach spoke of his confidence.

Torreira, meanwhile, was at the heart of the action, buzzing around and harrying the visitors every time they touched the ball.
