Unai Emery sets new Europa League record after Arsenal win vs Vorskla Poltava

The Gunners dominated the group stage tie from start to finish, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring twice against the Ukrainian side. Danny Welbeck and Mesut Ozil put Arsenal 4-0 up before two goals from Vladimir Chesnakov and Vyacheslav Sharpar hit two brilliant consolation strikes late on.
