Arsenal has started its Europa League campaign with a 2-1 away-win over Group B rival, Rapid Vienna.

After a goal drought in the first half, the Gunners conceded in the 51st minute, when Bernd Leno’s huge mistake gifted Fountas the opportunity to drill a good finish into the bottom-right corner.

But the North Londoners turned the game around in a span of four minutes, as David Luiz headed home on a set-piece in the 70th minute. And soon after, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got the job done for Arsenal, with a simple finish from close range.

Arsenal will next host Irish side Dundalk on Match day 2 next Thursday, after a Premier League clash with Leicester City this Sunday.
