BATE Borisov V Arsenal - As it happened.

FT: BATE Borisov 1-0 Arsenal. More of the same in the second-half as Arsenal fail to convert their chances for an equaliser. Emery made substitutions to bring on the likes of Aubameyang and Denis Suarez but neither could bring home a victory for Arsenal. The Gunners' night was summed up when Lacazette was sent off for palming Filipovic in the face. If Unai Emery wasn't under pressure before, he certainly is now.

Mkhitaryan will launch a cross into the area hoping one of his teammates can get on the end of it but Shcherbitski gets there first to punch away. That will be the last action of this evening's game.

Guendouzi has a last-ditch effort from outside the area but his shot bobbles along ground into the arms of Shcherbitski. Arsenal are running out of time for the equaliser.

Four minutes of added time indicated. Four minutes for Arsenal to salvage something from this match...

Lacazette makes his way down the tunnel as his teammates appeal to the referee. This is not the performance Emery will have predicted for his team, that's for sure.

Lacazette sees red as he palms off a challenge from Filipovic, illegally according to the referee. Lacazette will have no further impact in this game having missed a couple of earlier chances.

Substitution for BATE - Moukam comes on to replace Skavysh.

Substitution Arsenal - that will be Kolasinac's last action of the game as he is substituted for Denis Suarez, who is yet to make a start for the Gunners.

Dubajic will come off the bench and go straight into the book as he brings down Koscielny.

BATE will also make a substitution as Milic comes off to make way for Dubajic.

Arsenal make a double substitution as Maitland-Niles comes off to be replaced by Aubameyang and Torreira comes on in place of Xhaka.

A similar chance goes amiss for Arsenal as Mustafi's pass is far too weighty for Maitland-Niles.

A teasing ball into the area for BATE but the pass is too heavy for Volkov to chase.

Filipovic gets caught up in a tackle with Mkhitarayn and goes down with what looks like an ankle injury.

Stasevic controls it well for BATE and gets a shot away but Cech is there to palm it away.

BATE will make their first substitution as Alex Hleb comes off to make way for Berezkin.

Lacazette thinks he's equalised for the Gunners but the linesman's flag is up!!! It just isn't Arsenal's day.

Arsenal's corner doesn't threaten the defence and the ball is cleared all the way back into Arsenal's half.

Baga is down at the edge of the BATE area after colliding with Lacazette. He will require treatment from the physios.

Both Mkhitarayn and Maitland-Niles go up for a header but neither can reach and the ball goes for a free kick.

Arsenal put the pressure on immediately as they break into the 18-yard box with Kolasinac. His cross is cut out by Milic however.

Teams are back on the pitch as Emery's men will look for the victory after an underwhelming first-half.

HT: BATE Borisov 1-0 Arsenal. After Arsenal enjoyed the majority of possession and created more chances, it is BATE Borisov who go into half-time ahead after Drahun headed home a free-kick, seconds before the half-time whistle! Can Emery's men respond in the second-half?

GOOOAAAAALLL BATE!!! The free-kick is converted as Drahun meets it first and heads it past Petr Cech!!!

BATE will have a free-kick right on the stroke of half-time. Can they upset Arsenal by scoring late into the half...

Mustafi isn't happy with the linesman who flags for offside as the right-back attempted to create something for Arsenal.

Kolasinac attempts to break the deadlock but his shot is fired way over the crossbar.

Emery is visibly frustrated as it looks like his side will go into half-time without hitting the back of the net.

Lacazette, again, can't make anything from the cross and Arsenal remain goal-less.

BATE are doing well to keep Arsenal at bay! Unai Emery will be disappointed that his side are not two or three ahead by now.

Granit Xhaka puts a ball through for Arsenal, but yet again, nobody is there to capitalise.

Milic is there in the box again for BATE but his effort only reaches the side netting!

Guendouzi floats a lovely ball into the box from midfield and Lacazette is there but his touch is poor and he loses possession before he can take a shot.

BATE have a corner, what damage can they do?

This time BATE will miss a great chance!! Milic attempts to put his side ahead but he cannot make good enough contact with the ball.

Lacazette misses Arsenal's biggest chance of the evening so far!! He should have done better with the free header!

Possession is all Arsenal's but they are yet to convert it to a goal.

Arsenal are hammering away at BATE's defence but the Belarusian team are standing strong to keep the scoreline at 0-0.

It's Skavysh's turn to have a go for BATE as he fires his shot goalwards but Cech is there to gather.

Iwobi will chase the ball into the area but it crosses the back-line before he can play it back to his teammates, thanks to a Stasevic tackle.

Xhaka brings Skavysh down and goes into the book. BATE have a free-kick in a promising area.

Kolasinac is in the box again for Arsenal but the linesman deems him offside.

Two very early chances go by for the Gunners as they apply pressure right from the start!

ANOTHER chance for Arsenal as neither Monreal nor Koscielny can make contact with Mkhitarayan's fabulous cross!

Arsenal have the first clear chance of the match as Mkhitaryan has a tap in on goal! Shcherbitski smothers to save the shot.
