Good evening, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Arsenal v Basel.

That was such beautiful football I could genuinely weep. Fantastically fast break and exchange of passes across half the pitch, and Sanchez can't slot it over the keeper from close-range.

The referee makes a gesture indicating that Balanta was going for the ball as he and goalkeeper Vaclik bundle over Walcott.

Theo Walcott equals Cesc Fàbregas and Fredrik Ljungberg on 13 Champions League for Arsenal. Only Thierry Henry (35) and Robin van Persie (18) have scored more for the club.

GOAL FOR ARSENAL! And there's Theo Walcott once again! He fires in from an acute angle, bouncing it off the post after a wonderful build-up, including a casual one-two with Alexis. Lovely football.

Basel make a break down the right, though, and Lang should really have done better getting that ball in.

Walcott's on the right side, Bellerin just inside him, and Arsenal are toying with their opposition, exchanging passes without a care in the world.

The Basel fans are cat-calling Santi Cazorla as he prepares to take another Arsenal corner.

Sanchez picks up the ball in the centre circle and spots Ozil making the run on his right - just a touch too early though.

The ball falls to Balanta on the edge of the box and he shapes to shoot - it's blocked and rebounds to safety.

Doumbia is giving Monreal a tough time, and it's a corner to Basel.

Lovely triangles of passing as Basel stand and admire before the offside flag goes up against Walcott.

Carnivalesque at the Emirates, with great singing and rhythmic clapping.

Loose ball in the middle from Cazorla as Basel look to hit back immediately.

From the stats sheet: FC Basel concede a goal in their 21st consecutive Champions League away match. Only Celtic (28, 2001-current), Galatasaray (23, 2002-current) and Olympiacos (22, 1997-2003) have had longer streaks away from home.

GOAL FOR ARSENAL! Well, that was coming. Sanchez dashes through the middle, terrific dinked cross, and Walcott nods that home with ease.

Smart save from Vaclik as Monreal powers into the box.
