Arsenal put on a spectacular performance as they welcomed 2,000 fans back to the Emirates Stadium in a 4-1 mauling of Rapid Vienna in the Europa League.
After a nine-month absence, 2,000 spectators were given access following new government guidelines, and they were treated to a nice show of class by the Gunners.
Goals from Alexandre Lacazette (10) Pablo Mari (21) and Eddie Nketiah (44) delighted the Arsenal fans as Mikel Arteta’s side led 3-0 at the end of the first half.
Koya Kitagawa’s strike just after the restart dampened the mood at the Emirates Stadium for a brief moment, but substitute Emile Smith-Rowe sent the fans home happy as Arsenal kept up their 100 percent record in the Europa League.
The victory ensures the Gunners finish top of Group B with one game – a trip to Dundalk next Thursday.
