Arsenal vs Molde 4-1 All goals and extended highlights

A pair of own goals and a sublime Nicolas Pepe strike earned Arsenal a 4-1 victory over Molde to make it three Europa League wins from three to stay top of Group B on nine points. The visitors struck first just after the 20-minute mark when Martin Ellingsen picked up the ball on the right flank, cut inside and blasted a lovely left-footed shot past Bernd Leno to give Molde the early lead. A well-organised Molde defence kept Arsenal largely at bay for the rest of the first half, but the Gunners got back on level terms before the break when Kristoffer Haugen redirected a cross into his own net to make it 1-1. Sead Kolasinac wasted a golden opportunity to put Arsenal ahead, firing over in front of a wide open net after the ball fell to him at the far post and the match stayed level. Arsenal were in front soon after, though, thanks to another Molde own goal when Sheriff Sinyan shinned the ball in and then they doubled their lead in the 69th minute with a clinical finish from Pepe to put further pressure on the visiting side.
