FULL-TIME
Eight wins on the bounce now for Arsenal. They remain top of Group E with this clinical 3-0 victory. There will be questions about their defending at times but all in all this was a productive night for Unai Emery.

Three minutes will be added on here.

WELBECK MISS!
A long-ball over the top has Lazacette sprinting. The Frenchman holds the ball up and waits for support, eventually teeing up Welbeck who has time and space to pick his spot... but blazes over from point-blank range.

GREAT SAVE FROM LENO!
Arsenal's goalkeeper hasn't been tested in sometime but he's still alert to tip over Zoubir's venomous effort from distance.
84'
A clinical performance from Arsenal this evening and they will remain top of Group E. Emery just loves this competition.

GOAL! Qarabag 0-3 Arsenal
Three goals from three different first-time goalscorers! The goalkeeper doesn't cover himself in glory as he gets a hand to Guendouzi's strike from outside the box but isn't able to keep it out. Arsenal won't care, they are strolling to an eighth consecutive victory now.

In all honesty the current result will flatter Arsenal. They weren't at all convincing in the first-half with a back-three and started the second-period rather nervously too. In fact, they were under the cosh until Smith-Rowe's strike.
76'
Arsenal are holding the hosts at arm's length but aren't doing much in terms of actual attacking. Emery more than happy with the two-goal lead, it seems.

OFFSIDE! Substitute Abdullayev runs in behind Arsenal's defence to meet Delarge's through pass but he mis-times his run by a fraction.

WHAT IS OZIL DOING?!
Moments after gifting Qarabag the ball in a dangerous position Ozil has a chance to make amends. He finds himself in acres of space inside the box but instead of shooting he tries to roll it to Welbeck and inexplicably passes straight to a defender.
68'
To their credit Qarabag haven't allowed their heads to drop. They are still seeing plenty of the ball; they are still desperate to work the ball into decent areas and if they can grab a goal here then we are all set up for an enthralling finale.

Desperate defending from Arsenal as Guendouzi is forced to clear over his own crossbar after Agolli had beat a couple of players to create room for his cross.
