Highlights: Arsenal 1-0 Shakhtar Donetsk

A first-half own goal was enough to give us a narrow 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk.

Gabriel Martinelli’s shot cannoned off the post, hit the prone Shakhtar keeper Dmytro Riznyk on his back, and squirmed back into the net.

We had further chances to extend the lead, most notably when Mikel Merino’s cross was handled, and we were awarded a penalty after a VAR review. But Leandro Trossard’s spot kick was saved.

David Raya made a fine save of his own late on to ensure the three points, and extend our unbeaten start in the competition.
