Bukayo Saka gamble pays off as Arsenal edge past Bodo/Glimt - five talking points

Arsenal maintained their perfect Europa League record with a gritty 1-0 win over FK Bodo/Glimt at the Aspmyra Stadium.

The Gunners headed into Thursday night's match at the summit of Group A after dispatching the Norwegian outfit 3-0 in last week's fixture at the Emirates Stadium - and they quickly picked up where they left off in the latest meeting between the two sides.

Bukayo Saka nudged Arsenal into a 24th minute lead after the ball fortunately ricocheted into his face at point-blank range, but the visitors deserved to lead at the interval. Glimt did grow into the match after the break and spurned golden opportunities after getting in behind the visitors, but Mikel Arteta's side managed to stand firm and grind out a result that will keep their momentum rolling.
