Arsenal struck three times to earn a 3-1 aggregate win over BATE Borisov in the Europa League last 32 and banish memories of their defeat in Belarus.
Shkodran Mustafi added to Zakhar Volkov’s early own goal as the Gunners took control of the tie, with substitute Sokratis Papastathopoulos’ goal on the hour sealing the north Londoners’ passage into the last 16.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had plenty of chances to extend the lead even further, and Mesut Ozil, recalled to the team, also had opportunities to strike.
The visitors continued to strive but created little in the way of real penalty-box danger as their more illustrious opponents progressed to the last 16.
