Decent ball from Fabio Vieira for Nketiah, who sends it back from the byline. Leandro Trossard was there but failed to make any connection.

Duah wins the ball and finds Valentini. The Nurnberg right-back sends in the cross but comfortable for Aaron Ramsdale.

11:11 PM

39′ – ARS 1 FCN 0

Excellent from Jakub Kiwior again. The Poland international is playing more at the middle of a three-man backline. William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are his partners.

Jakub Kiwior has looked a decent player with great potential. The Polish centre-back has all the ingredients to become a top-notch player.

11:06 PM

35′ – ARS 1 FCN 0

Ben White wins the ball back and feeds it to Saka. Saka’s left-footed cross looked threatening but in the end flies over Eddie Nketiah for a goal kick.

Bukayo Saka on the floor

Bukayo Saka is on the floor and injured. He fell on his back and looks in pain. It doesn’t look that much serious but Saka going down is a scary sight for any Arsenal fan. Good News!! Saka is back up. A cooling off break is taken meanwhile.

11:00 PM

28′ – ARS 1 FCN 0

A rare gift from Arsenal to the home team. The Gunners lose out the ball once, but the shot by Duah is wayward and off target.

10:58 PM

Back to the game, Ben White makes a swift run and almost found by Saka. The flag is up but the move was slick and scary for Nurnberg.

Bukayo Saka is again creating dangerous chances. This time his left footer is just blocked as Nurnberg survive. A shot again from Arsenal’s no. 7 just saved by Mathenia. He could have had a hat-trick by now.

10:50 PM

Jakub Kiwior hits one and the ball goes and hits straight to Nelson. Arsenal still lead by the narrowest of margins but looking likely to increase that soon.

10:49 PM

The more you look at the Saka goal, the more you admire his class. It was too easy for the Arsenal star to cut back and score. Nurnberg defenders will have to buckle up and stay tighter to the Arsenal winger.

10:46 PM

15′ ARS 1 FCN 0

Reiss Nelson takes a volley which flies wide. The Arsenal winger has started in a lively fashion. A huge season awaits for him. Remember the goal against Bournemouth?

10:45 PM

Leandro Trossard crosses towards Fabio Vieira which was cleared. A cross then from Ben White which was thwarted again, but the final shot is parried over the bar as Arsenal get a corner.

10:43 PM

Bukayo Saka goal

Have a look at Bukayo Saka’s goal. It was a decent run, a fantastic bit of skill, and then an assured and trademark Saka finish. The England international will be the key for the Gunners this season, and he has started in the perfect fashion.

10:38 PM

Excellent link up between Reiss Nelson and Leandro Trossard. Great movement but the final effort from Eddie Nketiah is tame.

10:36 PM

Arsenal are just settling into the game. Not pressing that much and looking to take things easily. Nurnberg are on the front foot.

10:35 PM

3′ – Arsenal 0 Nurnberg 0

Nurnberg attacks with Duah. Hayashi also combines with him but Kiwior at the left back does well to rebuff any further movement.
