Unai Emery on Ozil future: 'We can find the best Mesut with Arsenal'

Arsenal booked their place in the last 16 of the Europa League after beating BATE Borisov 3-0 at the Emirates.

The result saw Unai Emery’s men win 3-1 on aggregate, having lost the first leg 1-0 in Belarus.

A Zakhar Volkov own-goal put the hosts ahead, with Shkodran Mustafi finding the back of the net six minutes before the break to double the scoreline.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos added a third on the hour mark to seal the victory.

BATE pushed for a breakthrough but Arsenal did enough to dominate proceedings and see out the game to confirm their place in the next round of the competition.
