Arsenal's Willock, Maitland-Niles 7/10 in comfortable win vs. Molde

Arsenal continued their 100% start to their Europa League campaign with a 4-1 victory over Molde at the Emirates on Thursday night.

The hosts went behind against the run of play after Martin Ellingsen pounced on some passive Arsenal defending to curl a bouncing effort past Bernd Leno midway through the first half. But a frustrating opening 45 minutes ended with a somewhat fortunate equaliser as Kristoffer Haugen prodded the ball into his own net following good work by Granit Xhaka and Joe Willock, before a second Molde own goal and a Nicolas Pepe effort in seven second-half minutes put the Gunners firmly in control.
