Arsenal secured yet another three points in the Europa League against BATE Borisov.
The Gunners travelled to Belarus in the search of their second win in the group stages following a comprehensive home win against German side Cologne in the first game week.
Arsene Wenger named a much-changed side to the one that defeated West Brom 2-0 in the Premier League thanks to a brace from Alexandre Lacazette. However, this didn’t stop the Gunners from coming away with a comfortable win.
Theo Walcott scored Arsenal’s first from close range, before making it two shortly after, with some awful goalkeeping helping the England international to a brace.
Rob Holding managed to squirm one in relatively soon after too, before BATE pulled a goal back before half time.
Olivier Giroud was awarded a penalty after a tussle in the box, and despite Walcott being on a hat-trick, took the spot kick himself. He made it 4-1 to the visitors, before BATE netted what proved to merely be a consolation goal.
