Europa League: 5 Talking points as Arsenal win in Germany

Arsenal got their Europa League campaign off the perfect start as goals late in each half saw off a spirited Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, VAM reports.

In a game featuring several chances for both sides, the Gunners took the lead shortly before half-time when Joe Willock's effort deflected in off first a defender and then the crossbar.

Willock had earlier been guilty of missing a glorious chance as both sides swapped opportunities, but the game opened up for the Gunners when the hosts' midfielder Dominik Kohr was sent off for a second bookable offence.

Bukayo Saka then struck with his first goal for the Gunners, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang then adding a third.

Other criticisms may have been louder and more eye-catching, but Arsenal's lack of goals from midfield also has to be a legitimate concern for Emery this season.

Other than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and the now injured Alexandre Lacazette, the only other Gunners player to find the net in this campaign was Lucas Torreira in the loss at Liverpool , until now.
