October 7, 2022 Arsenal Cruise Past Bodoe Glimt In Europa League To Stay Top Of Group

Arsenal put in another confident display to comfortably see off Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League at the Emirates.

Striker Eddie Nketiah got the opener as he reacted quickly to slot home after Kieran Tierney's powerful effort came back off the post.

Fabio Vieira was on hand to set up the second as he crossed it in for Rob Holding to head it in before the Portuguese himself got on the scoresheet to make it 3-0 late on.

Mikel Arteta's side have won four successive matches in all competitions and top their Europa League group, as well as leading the Premier League.

They looked like a team playing full of confidence in the first half despite Arteta making eight changes from the side that defeated rivals Tottenham in the weekend's north London derby.

Nketiah, who also scored in the 2-1 victory over Zurich in September, came into the team and was a threat throughout.

He deserved his goal when he pounced on the rebound from Tierney's strike - he had curled it inches wide earlier and teed up Vieira for his effort which struck the crossbar within 10 minutes.

Vieira was also hugely impressive, coming close on several occasions as well as providing the quality service for Holding's goal and scoring himself when he finished off a scintillating move by Gabriel Jesus.

Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt grew into the game in the second half and posed a threat but Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner was not tested enough by the visitors and they lacked a clinical edge to give them some sort of fighting chance in the pulsating encounter.

With two wins from as many group games so far, Arsenal now top Group A by two points over PSV Eindhoven, who they will lock horns with on 20 October.
