Arsenal vs Qarabag
Europa League 2018-19
Venue: Groupama Arena, Budapest
Kick-off: 8pm GMT
Arsenal extended their unbeaten run to 22 games in forgettable fashion as an Alexandre Lacazette goal earned them a 1-0 Europa League win over Qarabag.
A side that blended big hitters such as Mesut Ozil, Lacazette and returning club captain Laurent Koscielny with the brightest prospects of the Hale End academy struggled to click in a low key encounter at the Emirates Stadium but, not for the first time over their hot streak, Arsenal did all that was required of them.
