Unai Emery sets new Europa League record after Arsenal win vs Vorskla Poltava
Unai Emery became the first manager to win 32 games in the Europa League after he guided the Gunners to a 4-2 victory over 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.
