Qarabag 0-3 Arsenal: Emile Smith Rowe scores first senior goal for Gunners

Arsenal maintained their perfect start in the Europa League by beating Qarabag 3-0 on Thursday evening at the Baku National Stadium.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos scored his first Arsenal goal inside the fourth minute on Thursday, deflecting home Nacho Monreal's header from a corner to give the visitors the perfect start in Azerbaijan.

And Emile Smith Rowe enjoyed a moment to saviour for the rest of his life, putting the Gunners 2-0 ahead in the 52nd minute with a coolly converted finish from Alex Iwobi's well-timed pass. And Matteo Guendouzi wrapped up proceedings with a strike into the bottom corner with just over 10 minutes left.
