BATE Borisov 2-4 Arsenal

Olivier Giroud scored his 100th goal in Arsenal colours as we sealed a comprehensive victory against BATE Borisov in Belarus on Thursday.

In a entertaining clash, we scored three goals inside the first 25 minutes – a brace for Theo Walcott and one for Rob Holding – while the hosts pulled o
ne back.

The second half was less frenetic, but you still couldn’t take your eyes of the match for a second as we eased into a 4-1 lead before BATE struck their second, and then threatened a comeback.

The win leaves us in pole position in Group H, ahead of back to back games against Red Star Belgrade, and our attacking play will have delighted Arsene Wenger.
