Arsenal eased their way into the last-16 of the Europa League with a 3-0 win over BATE Borisov on Thursday.
The Gunners suffered a shock 1-0 defeat in the first leg of the tie in Belarus but came back strongly from the outset at the Emirates.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang forced Zakhar Volkov to put into his own net after just four minutes and defenders Shkodran Mustafi and Sokratis Papastathopoulos ensured they would go through to the next round.
Mesut Ozil was handed his first start by Unai Emery since January when he replaced the suspended Alexandre Lacazette in the starting line-up.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang twisted his way past left-back Aleksandar Filipovic down the right wing before fizzing a low cross, which came off Volkov’s shins and into the far left corner.
Alex Iwobi was inches from doubling Arsenal’s lead three minutes later but his curler from inside the area flew just wide, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan blazed over when well-placed in the penalty area.
Stanislav Dragun, BATE’s goalscorer in last week’s 1-0 win in Belarus, almost levelled when he was left free at the far post.
His effort beat Petr Cech in the Arsenal goal but Lichtsteiner was on hand to clear off the line.
Arsenal pressed for a second goal which would put them in front for the first time in the tie with Granit Xhaka forcing Denis Scherbitsky into a save from long range.
Aubameyang worked some space but could only hit tamely at the BATE goalkeeper shortly after, with the striker also looping a header over the crossbar from Nacho Monreal’s cross.
Ozil fired a volley over from 12 yards as the hosts continued to dominate but could not make the second breakthrough.
However, Arsenal grabbed a deserved second just six minutes before the break through Shkodran Mustafi’s powerful header from Xhaka’s outswinging corner.
BATE showed they were still in the contest when a long ball into the Arsenal area caused chaos with the ball eventually falling into Maksim Skavysh’s path, but his low effort was straight Cech.
There was a moment for concern for the hosts as captain Laurent Koscielny trudged off the pitch in the 57th minute and was replaced Sokratis Papastathopoulos with a left calf injury.
Former Arsenal winger Hleb then came on as a substitute to a standing ovation by the Emirates Stadium crowd two minutes later.
Papastathopoulos needed just three minutes to make his mark when he headed in his first Arsenal goal at home from another Xhaka corner.
