LIVE COMMENTARY
F-T
Molde 0-3 Arsenal
90+1'
Molde are working the ball around now as they try to pull one back, but Arsenal press well and win it back high up the field.
⚜ 83'
GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!
Balogun has his first goal for Arsenal!!
81'
Moe makes another pair of changes, with Eikrem replaced by Brynhildsen as Molde chase the game.
77'
Bolly cuts in from the left and strikes a fierce effort across goal from the edge of the box, but it rises just over the bar!
69'
The tempo of the game has slowed somewhat over the last few minutes.
⚜ 55'
Willock surges down the right and sends a driven, low cross into the middle where Nelson nips in to fire home from close range!
⚜ 50'
Lovely strike from Nicolas Pépé!!!!
A left-wing cross finds him on the right side of the box and he takes one touch to control it before curling a vicious strike right into the top-left corner from a tight angle.
48'
CROSSBAR! What a strike from Pepe! He cuts in from the right again and catches his strike really sweetly this time, sending it narrowing towards the top-left corner, but it pings back off the underside of the bar and stays out!
45'
Second Half begins..
H-T
Molde 0-0 Arsenal
45'
1' of added time to play
43'
CHANCE! Fantastic defensive header from Sinyan as Nelson storms down the left, does a few stepovers to work a yard and cuts back onto his right before crossing into the middle for Nketiah, but the Molde centre-back gets it away!
38'
Molde press really high as Mustafi plays it back to Runarsson, but Arsenal just manage to work it out from the back and Cedric draws a foul.
34'
Hestad puts a fantastic ball in from the left, but James doesn't attack it with any conviction and the ball sails harmlessly through the danger zone.
28'
WIDE!
A lovely cross from the left reaches the back post where Hestad tries to prod it home, but Maitland-Niles gets in the way to turn it just past the post!
23'
Arsenal have looked bright, particularly down their left side, and are enjoying a positive spell.
20'
Chance!
Pepe tries to seize the name by the scruff of the net, speeding down from the left wing and cutting inside.
17'
SAVE!
Pepe cuts in from the right and goes for goal from just outside the box, but it's a little too central and Linde saves and holds on. He needed to make that stick as Nketiah and Lacazette were lurking.
11'
Maitland-Niles and Nelson link up smoothly down the left as they progress the ball forward and win a corner.
9'
Quick pass down the line gives Pepe the chance to run at his man and cut inside, but a slightly loose touch allows his marker to nip in and clear the ball away.
7'
Slow start in Norway as both sides get a measure of each other.
3'
Nelson drives positively down the left and gets to the byline in the box before laying it back to Maitland-Niles, who dinks a cross towards the back post that Linde has to turn over the bar!
