    Substitution Arsenal - Koscielny comes off to be replaced by Sokratis. It looks as though the Arsenal captain is suffering with a left ankle injury...
  • 54'
    Iwobi is the latest challenger to Shcherbitski's goal but the BATE keeper does well.

  • 47'
    It's Guendouzi this time with a long range effort and Shcherbitski will confidently let it fly over.

    HT: Arsenal 2-0 BATE Borisov (2-1 on agg). The home side finish the first-half two to the good as an own goal from Volkov and Mustafi's header put them in front. Relentless Arsenal pressure meant BATE had just a few chances to threaten Cech's goal but what will the second-half hold? Stay tuned!

    One added minute before half-time!
  • 44'
    Arsenal launch a threatening attack but it is slowed somewhat as BATE flesh out their defence.
