Arsenal vs Bodo/Glimt LIVE: Europa League result and final score as Fabio Vieira wraps up victory
Arsenal are in Europa League action as they host Bodo/Glimt at the Emirates Stadium
Mikel Arteta will hope to continue Arsenal’s stellar form as they welcome Bodo/Glimt to the Emirates stadium tonight. The Gunners were triumphant in the north London derby at the weekend leaving them top of the Premier League table ahead of their clash with Liverpool on Sunday.
Arsenal are unbeaten in the Europa League this term but have only played one game – a 2-1 victory over FC Zurich - thanks to their match versus PSV Eindhoven being postponed due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Their opponents this evening, Bodo/Glimt, are also yet to lose having picked up one win and one draw from their opening two fixtures. That means that the winner of tonight’s clash will finish the matchday top of Group A.
Arteta is aware of the hectic schedule facing his players and says he will not hesitate to rotate his squad so it will be interesting to see how strong a line-up he chooses tonight. The Gunners boss will no doubt have one eye on the Liverpool game this weekend, but he will also want to secure Europa League qualification as soon as possible.

Omonia 1-2 Man Utd
75 mins: Fred comes on to replace Antony as Erik ten Hag looks to make things more secure in the middle of the park. He’s immediately involved in a handball appeal as Omonia are certain that they should have a penalty.
This isn’t going to be given though as a bobbling ball hits the Man Utd man in the chest.
Omonia 1-2 Man Utd
72 mins: Out of necessity Manchester United have a lot of attacking players on the pitch. Ronaldo, Martial, Rashford and Antony are all playing ahead of Casemiro and Eriksen which can leave spaces in midfield for Omonia to exploit.
Erik ten Hag will be hoping for another goal to seal this victory but as it stands United are vulnerable.
Omonia 1-2 Man Utd
69 mins: Close! A long ball comes over the top and bounces kindly into the Manchester United box for Bruno. David De Gea is off his line and the striker tries to flick it over him.
His connection isn’t good and he just prods it into the hands of the goalkeeper.

53 mins: Equaliser! Manchester United are back in it!
A long diagonal pass comes over to Marcus Rashford whose first touch isn’t great. He looks to have given the ball away to Nemanja Miletic but an overlapping run from Cristiano Ronaldo draws the defender away and Rashford recovers the ball.
He checks to the right and belts a low shot into the far bottom corner!
Omonia 1-0 Man Utd
51 mins: It’s a decent effort from Bruno Fernandes who gets the ball up and over the wall but there’s not enough curl on it to reach the corner and Fabiano clings onto the effort.

49 mins: Erik ten Hag’s substitutions haven’t forced a change in formation as they are like-for-like swaps. Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen attempt a couple of one-twos to get into the box but Fernandes is brought down just outside by Hector Yuste.
What can United do from this position?
