Arsenal staged a fightback during their first Europa League match against Cologne.
It was a delayed start to the Europe second tier continental tournament at the Emirates due to some safety concern. Perhaps that influenced the sluggish that saw the Germans took the lead after ten minutes through Jhon Cordoba.
Arsene Wenger changed things around in the second half with Bosnian Sead Kolasinac coming on for Rob Holding.
The change paid off handsomely when Kolasinac levelled things up in the 50th minute. Seventeen minutes later, Alexis Sanchez opened his Europe goal account with a sublime finish.
Hector Bellerin wrapped things up with eight minutes to go to make the final score 3-1 to the home side.
I gave the match a miss again though retrospectively I should have stayed up to watch the match.
Hopefully there will be more to come on the continental stage for The Gunners this season.
COYG!
