The final margin of victory would have been even greater had it not been for a combination of poor Arsenal finishing and the brilliance of Basel goalkeeper Tomas Vacliik. The result also means Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has bragging rights over his brother, Basel's Taulant, for a second time this year. Full-back Nacho Monreal had already forced Vaclik into a smart save before the hosts took the lead in the seventh minute. The same combination then ripped through Basel again to double Arsenal's advantage in the 26th minute.
