Arsenal continued their perfect run in the Europa League with a win at Red Star Belgrade.
Arsene Wenger named a hugely-changed side, handing starts to young players such as Reiss Nelson and Ainsley Maitland-Niles. He also heavily rotated his back three, giving Mathieu Debuchy a chance to impress.
It was a tight affair throughout, and chances largely came at a premium.
Red Star came closest in the first half, when Richmond Boakye’s effort rebounded off the bar.
However, a moment of magic won the game for Arsenal late on. Jack Wilshere manouvered his way well into the box and after the ball floated in the air, Olivier Giroud was on hand to acrobatically hand the Gunners all three points.
The win keeps Arsenal at the top of their group, leading with nine points out of a possible nine.
