Danny Welbeck, Arsenal Extend Winning Run to 11 with Win over Sporting Lisbon

Arsenal extended their winning run to 11 matches in all competitions as they beat Sporting Lisbon 1-0 in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.

Danny Welbeck was the sole goalscorer as he took advantage of a Sebastian Coates mistake in the 77th minute and smashed home a fine finish from 16 yards.

The Gunners' victory at the Estadio Jose Alvalade moved them three points clear of Sporting at the top of Group E and maintained their perfect record after three matches in the 2018-19 tournament.

Both sides are back in action on Sunday as they return to their respective domestic leagues.
