Arsenal overcame an early scare to continue their perfect start in the Europa League with a 4-1 victory over Norwegian side Molde at the Emirates Stadium
Martin Ellingsen's long-range effort gave the visitors a shock lead in the 22nd minute, but Arsenal, after a rather disjointed first-half performance, were back on level terms just before the break thanks to Kristoffer Haugen's own goal (45+1)
The turnaround was complete in the 62nd minute as substitute Sheriff Sinyan also turned into his own net, before Nicolas Pepe (69) and Joe Willock (88) added the gloss to the scoreline for Mikel Arteta's side
It's three wins from three in Europe now for the Gunners, who move three points clear of Molde at the top of Group B as they race towards qualification for the knockout rounds
After a slow start, the game eventually burst into life when Bernd Leno's clearance quickly found its way back into the Arsenal half
 Magnus Wolff Eikrem swept the ball into the path of Ellingsen, who beat a frustrated Leno from 25 yards
Despite dominating possession, the Gunners were struggling for rhythm and they were not really testing goalkeeper Andreas Linde, but they should have drawn level when Eddie Nketiah poked home Pepe's low cross
 However, the flag was raised for offside against Willock, but it was the England U21 striker who got the final touch
Arteta's side did eventually draw level in first-half stoppage time as Granit Xhaka led a counter-attack
 He played the ball forward for Nektiah, and his cross in search of Willock was turned into his own net by HaugenIt was another own goal which gave Arsenal the lead in the second half and this time, half-time substitute Sinyan, turned home Willock's cross with a number of Arsenal players waiting to pounce
The game was then wrapped up in the 69th minute as Pepe swept home from the edge of the penalty area after substitute Bukayo Saka's excellent cutback
Willock put the exclamation mark on the result for Arsenal, grabbing himself a deserved goal in the final stages
 The Gunners won the ball back high up the pitch and Mohamed Elneny released Pepe, who set Willock free and the midfielder made no mistake, firing emphatically into the roof of the net
Arsenal manager : "It was really important for us to win tonight and go top of the group
 We had a convincing victory and the boys tried to go for them from the first minute
 We went a goal behind but it was about the reaction, we created a lot of chances
"If they did not score the own goals, we had players there for the tap in
 We could sustain attacks and we did not want to let them run on the counter because they are a threat
"I really like the approach that the younger players are having for each game, they want to make the difference, they are playing with a lot of personality
Arsenal manager  on Willock's performance: "He could've scored more
 All the time he was in goal-scoring situations
 He created a few goals as well
 He had a really good performance
"Arsenal defender  on Willock: "He's a fantastic kid
 I'm always behind him to help
"He could do better because he has the talent to be at the top level
 He understands that every single day and for me, it's a pleasure to play with him, especially because he's humble
"When you are humble you can learn things, be better and improve
 If you are not humble you don't understand you need to improve
"He's humble and he has a great present and a great future
""Keep doing what he's doing consistently, and his chance will arrive
"That was Mikel Arteta's response when asked what Joe Willock has to do to get a chance in the Premier League, but after another excellent display in the Europa League, the 21-year-old, who has drawn comparisons to former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey, is firmly knocking on his manager's door to be included in the club's Premier League squad
Willock was an absentee from Arsenal's 18-man squad at Old Trafford, but after two man-of-the-match displays in the Europa League and two goals in as many games in the competition, he is certainly doing all the right things
Full of energy and running, Willock continually popped up in goal scoring positions and he played key roles in Arsenal's first and second goals before putting the finishing touch on another fine display with an emphatic finish
Will it be enough for him to get a chance when Arsenal take on Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday, live on? Willock's Europa League form will be difficult for Arteta to ignore, especially with Arsenal's struggles to break down Leicester at the Emirates Stadium fresh in the memory
Willock offers Arsenal something very different and even if it's only as an option from the bench this weekend, his form deserves rewarding
