Marquinhos kicked off his Arsenal career in style as he scored one goal and set up another in his team's 2-1 win at FC Zurich in their Europa League Group A ...

Marquinhos scored on his debut but Zürich's Mirlind Kryeziu equalised from the penalty spot before Eddie Nketiah's header gave Arsenal a 2-1 win.

It was Marquinhos, showing shades of Bukayo Saka in his ability to maraud inside and deliver accurately, who picked him out and the far-post header was planted firmly past Brecher. They began to threaten sporadically before the interval, Kieran Tierney throwing himself at Ole Selnæs’s shot, but it was still a surprise when they levelled. They then watched their team rediscover their dominance, Martinelli seeing a shot headed away by Kryeziu before Tierney and Nketiah came close. Nketiah had been released down the left by Fábio Vieira, who was making his first start, but his delivery needed to be perfect if Marquinhos was to have a clear chance. The Swiss champions, playing 40 miles from home due to a double-booking with a Diamond League athletics meeting, were vociferously backed but offered modest opposition. In the period after conceding they found any kind of possession a luxury; Arsenal were dominant and Vieira, pulling the strings, lobbed on to the roof of the net.

Eddie Nketiah's second-half winner gave Arsenal a 2-1 victory over FC Zurich to begin their 2022-23 Europa League Group A campaign on Thursday night.

Marquinhos scored one goal and assisted the other as Arsenal rallied for an impressive away win in their opening Europa League group stage game.

[Gabriel Jesus](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/217289/Gabriel-Jesus), NR -- A nice, low effort in the 87th minute was the highlight of a brief cameo for the star forward. Alas, he had to make better adjustments in the face of Zurich's smothering tactics, and his plan of holding out on substitutions with the hope that they retook the lead paid off . Mikel Arteta, 7 -- He began the game with a strong blend of experience and young talent in his starting XI and that seemed to pay off, as they played composed attacking football for long spells. [Fabio Vieira](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/88865/Fabio-Vieira), 7 -- Showcased his physicality on multiple occasions and made a swift pass out from the back that led to the opener. [Granit Xhaka](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/149981/Granit-Xhaka), 7 -- The midfield maestro was calm in possession, a physical leader and determined to help carve out opportunities in the middle of the park. That feeling was reignited upon the equaliser hitting the back of the net with defensive tension being evident, mainly under the threat of not wanting to let such a narrow lead slip. [Marquinhos](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/297070/marquinhos), 9 -- With 52 touches, one fantastic finish and a delightful assist, this was the definition of a debut to remember for the Brazilian. A tense second half followed, with Eddie Nketiah eventually easing the woes of the travelling fans with a header that won the game and sent the three points back to North London. They were methodical with their assaults on goal, and they were diverse with their movements both down the flanks and through the middle. [Takehiro Tomiyasu](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/238004/Takehiro-Tomiyasu), 7 -- Carried the ball forward at will, cut through the opposition midfield like glass and was one of the most consistent players on the pitch. [Rob Holding](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/218188/Rob-Holding), 5 -- Despite one or two nice recoveries, the Englishman was slow to the ball quite frequently and seemed off the pace in Zurich. [Matt Turner](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/303794/Matt-Turner), 6 -- Was unable to stop the penalty equaliser, but did manage to make a few nice saves on a fairly quiet evening.

It’s a big blow for the WSL, as the league aims to capitalise on the explosion of interest off the back of England winning the Euros this summer. Meanwhile, Barcelona have announced the departure of Gio Queiroz to Arsenal this morning, confirming our exclusive story earlier this week. The rescheduled date will be announced in due course.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham could have to wait until 2023 to play their rearranged Premier League matches after all football fixtures down to Step 6 have ...

In those six weeks between the end of the international break and the World Cup, there are already 13 fixtures leaving no room for new arrangements. If next weekend's fixtures are cancelled, then it could be October 1 before the next league fixture, which would be Arsenal Vs Tottenham. European matches in midweek could yet take place with Champions League and Europa League matches set to be held in London this week. This could mean further cancellations with police forces expected to be stretched. The next feasible chance for the matches cancelled from this weekend would be after the World Cup and in the new year, with January 17/18 the next opportunity due to Carabao Cup rounds and the FA Cup third round being in-between. The move has seen Arsenal's match against Brentford, Chelsea's trip to Fulham and Tottenham Vs Manchester City all postponed until a further date.

As a mark of respect to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, this weekend's Premier League match round will be postponed.

“At a meeting this morning, Premier League clubs paid tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. To honour her extraordinary life and contribution to the nation, and as a mark of respect, this weekend’s Premier League match round will be postponed, including Monday evening’s game.
