Nicolas Pepe 9, Joe Willock 8, Reiss Nelson 8: Arsenal player ratings v Molde

Gunners secure qualification to Europa League knockout stage

Powered by automated translation

Nicolas Pepe was in fine form as he scored the opener to help Arsenal win in Molde and secure qualification to the Europa League knockout stage.

The Ivory Coast winger kept his place in Arsenal's side despite being criticised by manager Mikel Arteta following his red card in the draw at Leeds.

The club-record signing made amends by delivering when it matters as the Gunners won 3-0 in Norway with Folarin Balogun grabbing his first senior goal after Reiss Nelson had doubled the lead.

The result means Arsenal are through to the round of 32 and can assure themselves top spot in Group B with a positive result at home to Rapid Vienna next week.
