Arsenal have all but sealed their place in the next stage of the Europa League after a dominant 3-0 win over Ostersunds.

Arsene Wenger’s side were in front on 13 minutes when Nacho Monreal punished a mistake from Ostersunds keeper Aly Keita and an own goal from Sotirios Papagiannopoulos made it 2-0 after 24 minutes.

The Swedish side managed by Englishman Graham Potter’s grew into the game, but Mesut Ozil added a third just before the hour mark to all but end the tie.

The home side even spurned the chance to score from the penalty spot in stoppage time.

Arsene Wenger could now look to blood a few more youngsters in the return leg. Joe Willock failed to receive any minutes, while ace striker Eddie Nketiah was only given a handful at the end to make his mark.

Gooners, who would you like to see given a start in the second-leg? Let us know in the comments…
