72 mins: Okita and Tosin look to play a one-two but Arsenal read the danger and the ball is cleared.

Xhaka is down. Will he be able to continue?

70 mins: A very good debut for Marquinhos. A goal and assists is not a bad way to start your Arsenal career.

GOAL! FC Zurich 1-2 Arsenal (Nketiah, 62)

61 mins: Xhaka flicks the ball over the top for Martinelli who tries to volley it first time but the ball is behind him a little and he can only send his shot over.

59 mins: Tosin, 45 yards out, spots Turner off his line and tries to go over the Arsenal goalkeeper but he reacts in time to avoid embarrassment.

57 mins: Arsenal move the ball quickly for once; a few passes from one side of the pitch to the other allow Tierney to slip a pass through for Martinelli but he is off balance and the ball flies over.

55 mins: Nketiah drives into the box, bulldozes his way through a couple of defenders but his shot is deflected into the goalkeeper’s arms.

53 mins: Xhaka picks up the ball near the halfway line and drills a pass into the feet of Tierney who has drifted inside; the Scot takes a touch and pings a low shot from 18 yards but the goalkeeper is fully behind it.

51 mins: Once again, it is all quite slow when Arsenal are on the ball.

49 mins: Zurich are yet to have a touch in this half.

47 mins: Martinelli gets into the box and takes aim for the far post but a defender gets in the way to head behind.

Arsenal are certainly on top in the early stages. Nketiah receives the ball on the edge of the box and curls a shot that goes just over.
