Arsenal got their Europa League campaign off to the perfect start on Thursday evening with a 2-1 win over FC Zurich. The Gunners are the favourites to win the competition and managed to record a victory in their first game with a heavily rotated side.
Mikel Arteta's side are looking to right the wrongs from three years ago, where Arsenal lost in the Europa League final. Unai Emery led the Gunners to the final in Azerbaijan, but were thumped 4-1 at the hands of Chelsea.
It was Arsenal's first European final in 13 years since losing to Barcelona in the Champions League finale, but the end result was the same. The season after that Chelsea defeat, Arsenal were knocked out in the round of 32 of the Europa League, before being defeated by Villarreal in the semi-final in the following campaign.
