Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal eased to Europa League victory against Qarabag on Thursday night - but they were far from their best in Baku.
Sokratis Papastathopoulos opened the scoring early on before the visitors had to withstand plenty of pressure until Emile Smith Rowe's first senior goal and a first for club for Matteo Guendouzi secured a 3-0 win which flattered Unai Emery's side.
The Arsenal head coach opted to bring the likes of Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette and Granit Xhaka on a near 5,000-mile round-trip despite a tricky visit to Fulham early on Sunday - but they were named on a strong bench at the Baku Olympic Stadium.

Qarabag get the game underway.
1 minute
A bright start from Qarabag, with Gara Garayev winning the ball well in midfield, but a misplaced pass ends the attack.
They appear to be playing a 4-2-3-1 with Michel alongside Garayev and Filip Ozobic ahead of them.
3 minutes
A first chance!
A prolonged spell of possession for Arsenal and Sead Kolasinac powers down the left, bullying his way into the box and feeding across. Vagner does well to parry clear but Arsenal win a corner.
Played short, deflected behind, another corner.
An out-swinger from Mohamed Elneny finds Nacho Monreal rising high at the far post.
The Spaniard's header is on target but half-deflects off, half-is-deflected-in by Sokratis, wrong-footing Vagner and giving the visitors a perfect start.
7 minutes
Arsenal look in control, with plenty of early touches for Elneny and Guendouzi in the centre of midfield.
9 minutes
Better from Qarabag.
A lovely clip from Michel finds Innocent Emeghara making a nice run, who forces the corner off Sokratis.
Well-defended by Nacho Monreal.
10 minutes
Big appeal by Innocent Emeghara as Rob Holding jostles with the Swiss forward in the box. The referee sees no foul despite his protestations and Arsenal have a goal-kick.
11 minutes
An inauspicious start from Emile Smith Rowe as he is nutmegged in midfield.
Qarabag are playing some nice football but they haven't been able to really threaten the Arsenal defence yet.
