Sokratis deflected the ball in to give Arsenal the lead
Arsenal will have come in to the game expecting to come out on top, and got the perfect start.
A Mohamed Elneny corner was whipped in to the box, and Nacho Monreal managed to get his head on to the ball.
With it heading tamely towards the goalkeeper, Sokratis stuck his foot out to direct it past the diving keeper.
The home side had a mountain to climb after what was already going to be a difficult match with such a start.
