Europa League: Monreal, Özil Score As Arsenal Comfortably Beat Ostersund FK 3-0

Arsenal comfortably beat Ostersund FK 3-0 and apparently are sure of a place in the last-16 of the Europa League.
Nacho Monreal opened the score-line for Arsenal in 13th minutes, with a shot from a close range after Ostersund goalie had saved Alex Iwobi's attempt.
The visiting side doubled their lead when Henrikh Mkhitaryan's cross wrongly diverted by Ostersund's Sotirios Papagiannopoulos into his side's post for an own-goal in the 24th minutes.
Thereafter, host team came out into the game, and made aimful attempts especially from Saman Ghoddos, but that did yield any goals and was followed by Mesut Özil scoring the third goal from the centre of the box in 58th minutes.
Ostersund did have a chance of getting a goal from penalty conceded by Héctor Bellerín (Arsenal) but Tom Petterson failed to convert in 90th+1 minutes.
However, Arsenal are almost through to the last-16 and will face the Swedish side on February 22nd.
