Follow all the action as Arsenal travel to Austria to take on Rapid Vienna in the Europa League

Mikel Arteta’s side laboured to a 1-0 defeat against Man City last weekend, which somewhat halted the momentum of their brilliant start to the season. However, the Gunners still look vastly improved in comparison to the side who were knocked out in the round of 32 by Olympiacos last season. 

Rather than the game itself, though, it’s the rumblings of discontent surrounding Mesut Ozil’s exclusion from tonight’s squad that has dominated the build-up to the fixture, with Arteta admitting that while his “conscience is calm”, he has “failed” Ozil by effectively drawing the curtain on the playmaker’s Arsenal career. Follow all the action below:

TOTTENHAM 1-0 LASK LINZ

Again nice play by Bale, who played a lovely reverse pass for Doherty, who failed to pick out a team-mate.

TOTTENHAM 1-0 LASK LINZ

Tottenham defender Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg goes off for treatment with a split eyebrow. He’s now returned with a bandaged head.

TOTTENHAM 1-0 LASK LINZ

GOAL! A beautifully worked goal that by Spurs. 

Ben Davies picks out Vinicius, who in turn sets it up on a plate for Lucas Moura, who makes no mistake.

CELTIC 0-1 MILAN

GOAL! Milan take the lead with their first meaningful chance. 

Castillejo’s in-swinging cross is met by Rade Krunic, who heads it into the Celtic goal.

CELTIC 0-0 MILAN

Bright start by Celtic, with Milan looking sluggish.

TOTTENHAM 0-0 LASK LINZ

Chance for Tottenham, but Vinicius’ header flashes wide following a Bale cross.

TOTTENHAM 0-0 LASK

Tottenham playing some enterprising stuff early on, especially with Bale out on the right-hand side.

CELTIC 0-0 MILAN

Celtic penalty shout, but it would’ve been harsh on Alessio Romagnoli, with the ball hitting his hand that was firmly by his side.

Emmet Gates22 October 2020 20:07

CELTIC 0-0 Milan

The sides have kicked off at Celtic Park.

Emmet Gates22 October 2020 20:02

TOTTENHAM 0-0 LASK

We have kick-off in north London.
