Mueez Ajao
– Arsenal rode goals from Eddie Nketiah, Rob Holding and Fabio Vieira to a straightforward 3-0 Europa League win over Bodo/Glimt at the Emirates on Thursday night.
– Mikel Arteta’s side took the lead midway through the first half when Nketiah deftly redirected the rebound from a Kieran Tierney shot that came crashing off the far post past Bodo/Glimt keeper Nikita Haykin.
– And Arsenal were two up shortly after as Holding nodded past Haykin at his near post from an expertly whipped in cross from Vieira that stood after a brief VAR check for a foul in the buildup.

– Chasing a two-goal deficit following the break, Bodo/Glimt still rarely threatened Arsenal with the Premier League leaders adding a third before full-time when substitute Gabriel Jesus tip-toed down the touchline and set up Viera to smash home from close range.
– The two teams will meet again in Norway next Thursday for the reverse fixture, while Arsenal host Liverpool on Sunday in a savory top-flight match in England.
💪 Big team performance
😍 COME ON ARSENAL!
