Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has called for VAR to be introduced into the Europa League as soon as possible.

The Gunners may have been comfortable 4-1 winners over Molde on Thursday night to maintain their 100 per cent start to Group B – but Arteta was left questioning an awful offside call against Eddie Nketiah.

Martin Ellingsen’s long-range effort gave the reigning Eliteserien champions a shock lead before Nketiah turned home a Nicolas Pepe cross, only to see the assistant referee raise his flag.

“I think he was really strong in his performance,” added Arteta.

“I think the way he is approaching every opportunity shows how mature he is.

“I’m impressed with the way he is communicating as well. I think he is developing the right way, he is a player I really like.

“He has some very special qualities and he deserves every minute that he’s playing and he’s showing it with performances, with goals and his attitude.”
