Youngsters shine in Europa League

LONDON • Teenagers stole the spotlight in the Europa League as Arsenal and Manchester United both got their campaigns off to a winning start on Thursday.

The Gunners, last year's finalists, saw 18-year-old English winger Bukayo Saka score his first goal for the football club and set up the other two in a 3-0 Group F away victory over 10-man German Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.

At Old Trafford, Mason Greenwood, 17, became United's youngest scorer in European competition when the English forward netted his maiden club goal in a 1-0 Group L victory over Kazakh champions Astana.
