Arsenal avoided an uncomfortable evening thanks to their individual stars who got their Europa League campaign up and running with a win.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was denied a hat-trick after his goals either side of half-time as Unai Emery cast one eye to Sunday's game against Everton. Danny Welbeck scored between Aubameyang's strikes and Mesut Ozil rounded off the Arsenal scoring with his second goal in two games.

There was no clean sheet for Bernd Leno or Stephan Lichtsteiner on their Arsenal debut as Vorskla Poltava left London with a souvenir thanks to Volodymyr Chesnakov and Vyacheslav Sharpar's late strikes.
