End of 2nd Half
90'+2
FULL-TIME. Straightforward win for Arsenal, which certainly could have been secured with a greater margin. Still, those two first-half Theo Walcott goals were enough for a comfortable victory - and for him to carry on his excellent form. Thanks for your company this evening.
90'
Two more minutes to be added on here.
89'
And another save from Vaclik at point-blank range from Sanchez. The striker is angry, the goalkeeper is pained.
88'
Arsenal on the break! Oxlade-Chamberlain rounds Vaclik, who's off his line and narrowing the angle, and then decides to wait for about six hours to get his shot in. By that time, the goalkeeper's recovered himself and puts in a good save.
86'
Cazorla takes it and it just sticks in the wall, really bizarrely, until the Basel players realise the ball is there at their feet.
85'
Elyounoussi clips the ankles of Sanchez on the edge of the box - it's a free kick.
83'
They're both on their feet and fine. They might have some bruises to nurse in the morning, though.
82'
Mustafi is on the floor clutching his knee after running into Steffen, who's also in some pain.

After all that fire of the first half, this game is fading fast. I jinxed it with my expectation of more goals.
75'
Kieran Gibbs now replaces Monreal, presumably a decision not entirely based on that shot.

It drops to Monreal on the edge of the box, who promptly smacks the ball into the proverbial Row Z.

And Ozil is met with huge applause as he prepares to take a corner.

And poor Theo Walcott won't get a hat-trick tonight - he's replaced by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Time for some changes - Elneny replaces Iwobi.
67'
Cazorla on the right and some really good hard work from Walcott to keep the ball in play and lay it back to Sanchez - who smacks it wide with the side of his foot and promptly hides his head in his shirt.
66'
Sanchez's vision is extraordinary, he's still searching for Walcott to set him free in the box.
