    Leicester City

    Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers to BT Sport: "[On Caglar Soyuncu's injury] We have to wait and see tomorrow. It's a recurrence of the groin injury, he overstretched it.

    "It's frustrating overall. I didn't think the players deserved to lose that at all. Ricardo got some game time. The young guys did well.

    "As the second half went on, we looked like the only team going to win. The players put so much into it. There were difficult conditions.

    "I thought the first half we were good tactically, limiting them to few chances and having some ourselves. Cengiz Under was excellent. The second half looked like the team were always on the offensive.

    "It was a great game to get gametime into legs. Ricky was excellent in the first half. I thought Kelechi was very good. Front three were excellent. Lots of positives from the game despite losing."

    Three goals and some excellent attacking football, the returning fans could hardly have hoped for more.

    GOAL - Arsenal 3-0 Rapid Viennapublished at 45 mins

    Eddie Nketiah

    Lovely team move and goal for Arsenal.

    Some quick one touch passing starts from halfway and the ball is worked into the box where Reiss Nelson puts it on a plate for Eddie Nketiah and although his first shot is saved the striker reacts quickly to head in the rebound.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 44 mins

    Arsenal 2-0 Rapid Vienna

    Mohamed Elneny stops Koya Kitagawa from getting through on goal and Elneny is shown a yellow card. It probably could have been worse for the Gunners if Kitagawa had gone through because he only had Alex Runarsson to beat.

    Arsenal 2-0 Rapid Vienna

    Reiss Nelson's ball in from the free kick is a poor one and Rapid Vienna clear.

    Arsenal's intensity has subsided a bit after a flying start but nevertheless they are in complete control of this one.

    The scoreline and the ease with which Arsenal are putting Rapid Vienna away is certainly helping but there is plenty of noise and a great atmosphere here tonight even though only 2,000 fans are in attendance.

    Arsenal's supporters are clearly loving being back at last and this display is making life even better.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 39 mins

    Arsenal 2-0 Rapid Vienna

    Alexandre Lacazette is crunched by Maximilian Ullmann, with Lacazette sent flying over the full-back's shoulder. Yellow card for Ullmann and he can't argue with that.

    Arsenal 2-0 Rapid Vienna

    A rare bit of defending for Arsenal to do as Shkodran Mustafi heads behind a cross for Rapid Vienna's first corner of the game. Arsenal clear the delivery but the visitors pick up the ball again before Marcel Ritzmaier's cross from the left is dealt with.

    Just a thought maybe Arteta should play this side in the league, look more dangerous and are attacking at will

    "We love you Arsenal, we do," chant the home fans as the Gunners start another attack. The hosts have had just two shots on target but it has felt like a lot more.

    Arsenal 2-0 Rapid Vienna

    Arsenal go close again as Ainsley Maitland-Niles breaks from midfield, weaves his way past a couple of defenders but then places his shot wide.

    He'd done all the hard work and should really have been celebrating a goal at the end of it.

    Arsenal 2-0 Rapid Vienna

    Rapid Vienna have their first shot of the game but it is a poor one as Yusuf Demir shoots well over from distance, prompting ironic cheers from the fans. All the crowd classics are back.

    Arsenal keep up the pressure and are inches away from a third as Reiss Nelson pulls the ball back for Alexandre Lacazette, who shoots first time on the edge of the area but his low strike hits the upright.

    Arsenal 2-0 Rapid Vienna

    Arsenal have had 75% possession but it is not just about keeping the ball, they are zipping it about at pace and pulling Rapid Vienna apart. A very good performance from the home side so far.

    Arsenal 2-0 Rapid Vienna

    Lovely move by Arsenal as Ainsley Maitland-Niles' clever dummy allows Reiss Nelson to break towards goal but he pushes the ball too close to Richard Strebinger and the Rapid Vienna goalkeeper gathers the ball before Nelson can strike.

    Oh this could get messy for Rapid Vienna.

    And what a moment fro Pablo Marí. After a long time out through injury he heads Arsenal further ahead from Reiss Nelson's inswinging corner.
