Sporting CP 0 Arsenal 1: Welbeck keeps Gunners perfect in Group E

Arsenal made it 11 wins in a row in all competitions as a late Danny Welbeck strike downed Sporting CP in the Europa League.

Danny Welbeck scored a second-half winner to give Arsenal a 1-0 victory away to Sporting CP in the Europa League on Thursday.

Both teams had maximum points on the board after two rounds and they looked set to play out a goalless draw in a mostly low-key affair in Lisbon.

But Welbeck came up with the decisive goal in the 77th minute, rifling a fine finish through the legs of goalkeeper Renan Ribeiro to give Arsenal an 11th straight win in all competitions.
