In a hostile evening at the Emirates, by where the game was delayed for an hour after a reported 8,000 Cologne fans managed to get into the stadium, things got even crazier when Jhon Cordoba opened the scoring.

After David Ospina’s weak clearance fell straight to his feet, the striker lobbed the ball over the Arsenal keeper from around 40 yards out to give the German side the lead.

The Gunners recovered from their early setback, however, with goals from Sead Kolasinac, Alexis Sanchez and Hector Bellerin securing them a win in their opening Europa League fixture.
