Arsenal - Napoli live updates

Alas, UEFA have spoken!

A clever Arsenal corner is played over to Aubemeyang, but his first-time effort is saved by Meret.

Some suggestion that Torreira effort could go down as a Koulibaly own goal - a close call as to whether it was going wide or not. Give it to the Arsenal man, I say.

GOAL! Ruiz is robbed of the ball by Torreira, and after he chops it onto his left foot, he sees a low effort take a huge deflection off Koulibaly and beat Meret all ends up.

Hard to believe Ramsey is off in the summer, but you can only imagine his wage demands could simply not be met by the club. Juventus will be delighted to see he's already got a taste of scoring against one of the nearest rivals.

'Nearest rivals' - that should be, if you've seen the Serie A table recently...

Drink it in (if you're in the UK, that is).

Time to kick on? Arsenal have been by far the better side so far, and will know they have a chance of putting a few past Napoli here.

A long way to go, though...

It's a sensational move. One-touch passing. From the halfway line to the Napoli area in barely 10 seconds. Ozil, Maitland-Niles all involved, and there is Ramsey to coolly slot it into the far corner.

Advantage Arsenal!

GOAL! What a fine move from Arsenal, and it's soon-to-be-leaving Ramsey who strokes it home!

Napoli warm to the occasion somewhat, but an Insigne corner is cleared away. Plenty of corners, but few clear-cut chances so far.

CHANCES! Arsenal go close on a couple of occasions, but both Ramsey and Maitland-Niles' efforts from the edge of the area are blocked by Koulibaly - who cannot go a touch without mention of other clubs' reported interest in his signature.

Another Arsenal corner, and this time Torreira's cross bounces all the way through, and again Monreal is penalised for a foul in the area. Three corners, two fouls, so far for Arsenal.

Some start from Arsenal this, and now Lacazette wins a corner for the hosts... the cross somehow squeezes its way through to Monreal, but he can't connect with it properly from 15 yards out.

Ozil heads over to the corner where Napoli fans are bouncing away - making for a good atmosphere at the Emirates. And as Ozil's cross comes in, Monreal is penalised for a foul in the area.

Bright start from Arsenal, who have controlled the play so far and have twice tried to play in Aubameyang behind the Napoli defence.

Kolasinac then wins the first corner inside two minutes...

And away we go at the Emirates. Let's see what this Arsenal side are made of.

Out come the teams... tough to call this one, but if feels like it should be a cracker. Can Arsenal take a lead to Italy next week? We're about to find out.

A reminder ahead of kick-off that Chelsea are also in action tonight at Slavia Prague. If you really want to leave me, then click below to follow that coverage…

Arsenal and Napoli have faced off just twice before in Europe - home and away in the group stages of the Champions League in 2013-14. Arsenal defeated the Italian side 2-0 at the Emirates, before losing by the same scoreline at the Stadio San Paolo.
