Europa League

Arsenal cruised to a smooth win over Bodo/Glimt on the strength of some good performances. Here are player ratings for the Europa League fixture.

The sustained aggression that Arsenal showed when pursuing the lead just goes to prove how much they've grown as a unit. DF [Eddie Nketiah](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/259486), 8 -- The instinctive finish to make it 1-0 was just the tip of the iceberg on a night that allowed Nketiah to show off his pace and determination in some style. [Fabio Vieira](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/88865/Fabio-Vieira), 8 -- After an electric start, the 22-year-old proceeded to register a top quality assist as well as a powerful finish on an evening to remember. [Albert Sambi Lokonga](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/268239/Albert-Sambi-Lokonga), 5 -- Needs to work on his timing and positional play with the nerves, on multiple occasions, boiling to the surface. [Granit Xhaka](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/149981/Granit-Xhaka), 7 -- The captain let his guard down slightly in the second half but overall, he was consistently controlling the play with a commanding presence. [Marquinhos](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/297070/marquinhos), 6 -- Outside of a few poor touches and questionable decision making, this was an outing he needed to get adjusted to Mikel's setup. [Kieran Tierney](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/214794/Kieran-Tierney), 7 -- A lovely ping off of the post led to Arsenal's opener and while he has questions to answer at the back, his attacking intent was clear. [Takehiro Tomiyasu](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/238004/Takehiro-Tomiyasu), 7 -- He may sometimes be too ambitious with his passing, but Tomiyasu is a calming presence in a well-rounded defence. [Rob Holding](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/218188/Rob-Holding), 8 -- A delightful header functioned nicely alongside a series of interceptions that highlighted one of the Englishman's greatest strengths. [Gabriel Magalhaes](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/236322/gabriel), 7 -- His physicality at the back worked well in a setting that called on him to be an example of an assured first team regular. [Matt Turner](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/303794/Matt-Turner), 7 -- Made one impressive save in the 57th minute by getting down low and aside from that, didn't have a whole lot to do between the sticks.

Marcus Rashford struck twice as Man United avoided embarrassment in Cyprus, while Arsenal earned a resounding win on UEFA Europa League Matchday 3.

Arsenal climbed to the top of Group A as first-half goals from Eddie Nketiah and Rob Holding helped them to overcome the Norwegian champions.

The winner of the 2022-23 competition will gain entry to the UEFA Champions League group stage next season, just as Eintracht Frankfurt did in 2021-22 following their final victory over Rangers. The UEFA Europa League is back for the 2022-23 season.

Eddie Nketiah, Rob Holding and Fabio Vieira fired Arsenal to a routine 3-0 Europa League win over Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt.

Gabriel Martinelli did well to hold onto the ball in a congested midfield before eventually smuggling it out wide to Tierney. But their evening in north London did not get off to the best of starts when their bus got stuck on a tight bend in the narrow streets surrounding the stadium, forcing the players to get off and walk the rest of the way. Then defender Holding, who has been on the pitch for just two minutes in the league this term, headed a second before Vieira tapped in a late third to make it two wins from two for Mikel Arteta’s men in Group A.
