Bodo/Glimt vs Arsenal LIVE: Europa League result and final score as Gunners hang on after Bukayo Saka goal

Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Arsenal: The Gunners survived a few scares as they held on to maintain their 100 per cent record in Europe this season

'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:

Arsenal weather Bodo/Glimt storm to take charge of Europa League group

Arsenal’s fine start to the season continued as Bukayo Saka hit the only goal of the game to see off Bodo/Glimt and put the Gunners in charge of their Europa League group.

Mikel Arteta’s sit top of the Premier League and made it 11 wins from 12 in all competitions with a 1-0 victory in Norway.

The Spaniard opted for a strong line-up, naming seven full internationals with the prospect of winning the group to bypass the round of 32 stage leading to the likes of Saka, William Saliba and Ben White starting the game.

Bodo had won their last 14 home matches in European competition and Jose Mourinho’s Roma were famously humbled 6-1 at the 8,300-capacity Aspmyra Stadium last year.

But, inside the Arctic Circle and with swirling rain, Arsenal put on a professional display to maintain their winning start to Group A.

Man Utd vs Omonia

Omonia will be missing first-choice goalkeeper Fabiano tonight due to a shoulder injury. He was their best player by far for the game in Cyprus making several huge saves.

Man Utd had 28 shots in total last week - though only eight on target - and controlled 73% of the possession.

Cristiano Ronaldo starts for Man Utd tonight after coming off the bench to score the winner against Everton at the weekend. Ronaldo was brilliant against Omonia last week and did everything other than score. Will he get on the scoresheet tonight?
