Arsenal weren't at their best in Norway but have extended their winning run in the Europa League to three matches after another victory over Bodo/Glimt.

Bukayo Saka scored the scrappy solitary goal midway through the first half, although the Gunners could have been pegged back soon after had Amahl Pellegrinio not got his effort wrong after being put through one on one with Matt Turner.

Bodo/Glimt did have other chances to equalise, including another Pellegrino shot that was well saved by Turner. But Arsenal hung on to claim all three points.

Jose Mourinho's Roma face an uphill battle to qualify for the Europa League knockout following their draw against group leaders Real Betis, although it does still lie in their own hands.

Sergio Canales fired Betis into a first half lead, with Andrea Belotti getting Roma back on level terms soon after the half-time interval. That was how it stayed.

Manchester United had 33 shots against Omonia at Old Trafford, eventually scoring with the 33rd and final effort in stoppage time.

Omonia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, a stand-in for usual stopper Fabiano, was in inspired form, repelling shots from all angles. His most spectacular save saw fingertips divert Casemiro's long-range drive onto the cross bar.

But the resistance was eventually broken by substitute Scott McTominay, whose low finish from close-range finally beat Uzoho.
