Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang Brace Helps Arsenal Past Vorskla in 2018 Europa League

Arsenal got their 2018-19 UEFA Europa League campaign off to a winning start on Thursday, as they coasted past Vorksla 4-2 at the Emirates Stadium.

After a dogged start from the visitors, the Gunners went in front thanks to a slick counter-attacking move, finished off well by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

In the second period Arsenal extended their advantage through Danny Welbeck, who nodded home Henrikh Mkhitaryan's pinpoint cross, before Aubameyang got his second of the night and Mesut Ozil added a fourth from the bench.

The minnows did have a couple of moments to celebrate late in the game as Arsenal lost focus.
