'The feeling of beating Liverpool is so powerful' - Arteta on return to the top

Arsenal continued their perfect Europa League record as Mikel Arteta’s side held on to claim a narrow win at the Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt thanks to Bukayo Saka’s first-half goal.

Bodo/Glimt had won 14 European home games in a row but Saka gave Arsenal the perfect start when he exchanged a one-two with Albert Sambi Lokonga, before the ball deflected off the attacker and into the net.

The hosts had their moments in the first half but it wasn’t until after the break that the Norwegian side really threatened Arsenal. Ola Solbakken went close before Runar Espejord wasted a great chance on the hour mark.

But Arsenal successfully weathered the storm to make it three wins out of three in Group A, continuing their excellent form ahead of Sunday’s trip to Southampton in the Premier League. Catch up with how Arsenal maintained their winning run before coverage continues with Manchester United vs Omonia Nicosia:

Second half: Man Utd 0-0 Omonia

Kick off: Omonia get the match restarted at Old Trafford.

Incredible! Manchester United recover the ball high up the pitch and work it to Ronaldo. He slides in Antony who takes a touch and shoots but draws a diving stop out of Uzoho.

The ball comes to Rashford who mishits his effort but gets it on target. The soft pace of the shot allows the keeper to get up and palm this one away too!

The other Group E match of the night was also goalless right up until the break but Real Sociedad have just gone one up against Sheriff Tiraspol.

Manchester United need to win at Old Trafford to keep up the pace with the Spanish side.
