First-half summary
Arsenal created a number of chances in the first half but went into the break locked at 0-0 with Standard Liege.
After Smith Rowe had seen his cross-shot turned away by the foot of goalkeeper Arnaud Bodart, Saka had three good opportunities to put Arsenal ahead but failed to beat the in-form keeper.
As the half-time whistle approached, Saka saw an effort from the left of the box saved before Bodart produced another good stop to keep out Nelson.
