Arsene Wenger is pleased with Arsenal taking "advantage" of a "very nervous" Ostersunds FK side in their Europa League last-32 first-leg win at the Jamtkraft Arena.

Arsene Wenger has praised his Arsenal charges for taking "advantage" of a "very nervous" Ostersunds FK side in their Europa League last-32 first leg at the Jamtkraft Arena.

The Gunners ran out 3-0 winners in Sweden thanks to strikes from Nacho Monreal and Mesut Ozil, in addition to a Sotirios Papagiannopoulos own goal.

Ostersunds overcame Galatasaray and PAOK to qualify for the group stages of the competition, before beating Hertha Berlin and drawing with Athletic Bilbao on their way to finishing second in Group J.

"We did the job well, controlled the ball against a good side," Wenger told BT Sport. "They beat Hertha Berlin here, 2-2 against Athletic Bilbao, so a quality team.

"But once we scored the first goal we were in control. Overall we played a serious game, so job done. They looked very nervous and we took advantage of it.

"I think the young players in the team played well in group stages, so [they were] kept in the squad and [I will] continue to try and give them minutes when I can."

Arsenal host the second leg of the last-32 tie at Emirates Stadium next Thursday.
