Arsenal bounced back from their defeat against Bournemouth by securing a 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.
Seventy-two hours after they were dealt a surprise first loss of the season at the Vitality Stadium, Mikel Arteta’s side retained their unbeaten record in Europe so far when Gabriel Martinelli’s first-half strike rebounded in off goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk.
Leandro Trossard missed a penalty with 14 minutes left, and David Raya also pulled off a fine save in stoppage time, while Arsenal’s evening was soured by a second-half Riccardo Califiori injury.
Fellow defender Ben White also failed to emerge after the interval just five days before Liverpool’s visit to north London in the Premier League.
