Arsenal moved to the top of Group A with a comfortable 3-0 win against Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League.

"The win was enough to take Arsenal above Glimt to the top of Group A. "Only Gabriel Magalhães, Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Martinelli were retained from the starting XI that overwhelmed Spurs but the supporting cast turned in a display of largely similar concentration: they previously lacked such consistency of performance and, even if the occasion was humdrum, it bodes well. Arsenal won this game so easily because they treated Bodø/Glimt like any other opponents, destroying the Norwegian champions in a ferocious first half and making sure the game was in effect won before legs tired and minds wandered. "If a routine Europa League group stage win is remembered for anything in a few months’ time, Arsenal’s fans might recall the mesmerising run along the byline by Gabriel Jesus that allowed Fábio Vieira to garnish the scoreline late on.

Bodø/Glimt had improved since the interval and a dangerous raid down Arsenal’s left was their latest attempt, conviction growing each time, to erode a two-goal deficit. "Instead, it proved a comfortable evening for Arsenal, one that bodes well at the start of a punishing month for Mikel Arteta’s side. Arteta was keen to make sure everyone was aware of his seriously Arsenal were taking their Norwegian visitors though and therefore gave all three of Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard minutes ahead of the weekend. "Despite missing the entirety of pre-season with an ankle injury, Arsenal fans can be incredibly pleased with what they have seen from Vieira so far. While Odegaard remains the first-choice attacking midfielder in this Gunners side, Vieira's efforts are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore, such is his technical quality." It really has been a fabulous start to the season and last night, the invention and intensity with which this much-changed team played at times must augur well. Throw into the mix that Nketiah's trademark 'fox in the box' style approach to forward play is still very much present and Arsenal have quite the deputy striker on their hands.

He didn’t make as many passes as he could have, but still, he didn’t give the ball away much. Gabriel gave a thumbs up to this Brazilian, who always had his cool on display.
