ARSENAL 6-0 LENS
88: "6-0 to the Arsenal," sing the supporters. They've been exceptional tonight.
ARSENAL 6-0 LENS - JORGINHO (PEN)
85: GOAL! Martin Odegaard handed the ball over to Jorginho and the Italian international sends the goalkeeper the wrong way with a typically cool penalty.
Probably the least pressurised penalty he'll ever take.

84: Penalty to Arsenal! The referee wandered over to the screen and decided to give the spot-kick. Martin Odegaard is ready to take it…

83: Eddie Nketiah replaces Gabriel Jesus for the final few minutes. No Arsenal player has fired off more shots on goal in the league this season than Eddie.
Penalty check! Khusanov, who made his European debut tonight and got booked after 25 seconds, has caught Martinelli in the face with a flailing arm. It also looks like he's managed to handle the ball in the same motion.
He's had a night to forget.
ARSENAL 5-0 LENS
80: Arsenal continue to play the ball around inside the Lens half. Clearly conserving energy for Saturday's Premier League clash with Wolves.
Chance! Ben White finds Gabriel Martinelli down the right channel. He drives into the penalty area but his cross/shot is blocked for a corner.

78: Arsenal applying a bit of pressure as we enter the final stages. No clear-cut chances to speak of, but you sense there might be a sixth here for the Gunners. Ben White reaches the byline but his floated cross is plucked out of the air by Lens goalkeeper Samba.

75: OK, 15 minutes left to play here. Odegaard wins a corner after seeing his effort blocked. Rice strolls over to take it and it sails straight through a crowd of players and soon arrives at the feet of David Raya. Turning attack into defence in the blink of an eye there.
Declan Rice heads off with Jorginho replacing him.
ARSENAL 5-0 LENS
71: It looks in range. Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard stands over a free-kick around 30-yards from goal. Might be closer to 35 yards actually.
He bends the delivery in but it's headed clear and Gabriel Martinelli ushers it out for a corner, which White eventually slices high and wide.

68: Chance! An actual chance!
Kai Havertz sends the crowd wild with a bit of trickery in the corner to bamboozle his marker. He tip-toes across the byline before cutting it back for Odegaard, whose skidding effort is saved by Samba.
ARSENAL 5-0 LENS
65: Khusanov replaces Gradit to make his European debut… and he's booked within about 25 seconds for an innocuous foul. Haidara follows him into the book seconds later with a really cynical foul on Odegaard.
Bukayo Saka finally comes off. He's replaced by Nelson.
ARSENAL 5-0 LENS
63: Video highlights for this second half will be tricky for editors later. Actually I guess they'll be easier with nothing to show.
