Match Report
The Norwegian opened the scoring with a powerful 20-yard drive, with Gabriel restoring their lead after a defensive error allowed Youssef El Arabi to equalise for the hosts.
An otherwise excellent evening for the Gunners was rounded off by Mohamed Elneny's superb long-range strike late on.
With three valuable away goals, Mikel Arteta's side are well placed to avoid a repeat of their dramatic exit to the Greek champions last term.
