Arsenal began their Europa League campaign with a over Swiss club Zurich FC on Thursday night, September 8, 2022.
The Gunners have dropped points since the start of the new season, losing to Manchester United in the Premier League last weekend.
Mikel Arteta's men were looking to bounce back with a victory in Switzerland and wasted no time in controlling proceedings as expected.
Arteta's Brazilian summer signing Marquinhos opened the scoring for the Gunners in the 16th minute after a brilliant effort to give the visitors the lead.
However, Zurich soon roared back into the game after Eddie Nketiah conceeded a reckless penalty in the final stages of the first half.
Kosovar defender Mirlind Kryeziu stepped up and slotted past Matt Turner in the 44th minute to level matters just before the break.
Both teams went into the break with nothing to separate them yet as the second half was expected to bring more goals.
