The Belgians eventually held on for the win despite a late flurry of chances for the Ligue 1 outfit.
Arsenal, last year’s finalist, saw 18-year-old winger Bukayo Saka score one goal and set up the other two in a 3-0 away victory over 10-man Eintracht Frankfurt. And 17-year-old Mason Greenwood became United’s youngest ever scorer in European competition when he netted the loan goal in a 1-0 victory over Astana at Old Trafford.
In a major upset, competition newcomer Wolfsberg routed Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-0 away in Group J.Arsenal manager Unai Emery started a trio of academy graduates, with Emile Smith Rowe, Saka and Joe Willock forming a youthful attack together with Aubameyang. It was the 20-year old Willock who opened the scoring in the 38th with a deflected right-foot shot from inside the area, which bounced off the crossbar and into the net.
While Arsenal looked sharp up front, its defence look shaky throughout the game and Frankfurt missed a number of good chances to score — in part thanks to a couple of good saves from backup goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.Standard Liege started with a 2-0 win over Vitoria in the other Group F game.Javier Hernandez broke the deadlock in Baku in the 62nd minute with a curling free kick for Sevilla, the Europa League winners in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
Wolves returned to a European competition for the first time since the 1980-81 season, but couldn’t shake off its poor domestic form.
