Arsenal took a deserved one-goal lead through a deflected Joe Willock shot on the 38th minute against Eintracht Frankfurt.
It started with a nice little dink from Saed Kolasinac to Saka who breezed by one Frankfurt player before he fed it to Willock who still had some work to do. He turned inside one defender then blasted it and with a wicked deflection off Frankfurt captain David Abraham it flew over the keepers head to give the Gunners a one-goal lead.
Joe Willock gives Arsenal the lead, albeit with a slice of luck! ?⚪️#FRAARS #UEL #VMSport pic.twitter.com/mnSmVhneI1

Time to rest Auba, Pepe In please
Not just yet. We are only 1 up
Xhaka has been actually a good Defensive midfielder today…. WTH,
Bye Kohr Red Card.
Can someone tell me how Mustafi and Luiz are faring?
Pretty well, Mustafi actually completing his runs and not letting the attackers alone.
Maybe we should have a look at some defenders from the youth team. Might have a decent team then…
Zaka Goal!!!!!!
Auba GOal!!!!!! 0-3
Saka man of the match!! Very easy pick for starting left wing.
Yes he has been superb.
Arsenal Martinez 3 Frankfurt 0 we could not do it any better!!!!
Thank God, Jehova Allah, Zeus
We finally won an away match and by hopefully 3 goals or more.
Now we need to win on Sunday
Well done especially to young guys Saka, Wilock and Smith Rowe. Also our defensive line which looked really bad on paper but came up with the goods tonight
Good job boys
Keep it up
Martinez or Xhaka for man of match.
Btw
We all were disturbed and shocked by the trio of Mustafi, Luiz and Xhaka. But they performed well today. Very surprised tbh
Also Aubameyang needs a good rub down and spa treatment for Sunday. Great job tonight by all
Saka is a star… 2 assists 1 mad goal. Emery has arsenal playing with a conservative mindset. We need to be aggressive
nice to see an arsenal clean sheet as well as witness arsenal young guns show up and prove their quality – winning breads confidence, let’s keep going arsenal.
Brilliant performance boys, well done!!!
Martinez was the complete keeper and certainly gives Leno a reminder that his position shouldn’t be taken for granted.
Kolasinac was excellent, as was Chambers, after a very tentative start – to be expected after not playing since the opening game.
Xhaka was so much better with Torreria beside him and wilock, smith-rowe and saka deserve every plaudit they get.
Congrats UE, you got it right tonight, made me happy and we go into Sundays game buzzing… BRILLIANT
