Olivier Giroud’s acrobatic late goal on Thursday was all Arsenal needed to beat 10-man Red Star Belgrade 1-0 in Europa League Group H encounter in an intimidating atmosphere.
Both sides missed chances as Theo Walcott came close for Arsenal in the first half while Richmond Boaqye hit the woodwork at the other end and Petr Cech did well to keep out a Nemanja Radonjic effort.
