Europa League: Iwobi rested as Arsenal cruise past Vorskla Poltava

Super Eagles midfielder, Alex Iwobi was rested by manager Unai Emery as Arsenal made light work of Vorskla Poltava in a Europa League fixture.

The Gunners eased to a 3-0 win despite missing a couple of first team players but it was obvious that the North London team had an eye on the derby against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Arsenal were 3-0 up by half-time, with 18-year-old Emile Smith Rowe getting his third of the season, before Aaron Ramsey added a penalty and Joe Willock got off the mark for the club.

Unai Emery’s men were less incisive after the interval and were unfortunate to have a second Smith Rowe goal chalked off, but the result never looked in doubt and they ease into the next round as group winners, ahead of Sporting CP, with a game to spare.
