Watch: Unai Emery mimics header then celebrates as Shkodran Mustafi scores

Videos

Arsenal beat BATE Borisov 3-0 at Emirates Stadium on Thursday night to make the last 16 of the Europa League – and you could see what it meant to Unai Emery.

Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, Arsenal levelled the tie within four minutes and then moved ahead six minutes before half-time when Shkodran Mustafi powerfully headed home from Granit Xhaka’s corner.

And Emery certainly saw the opportunity for his centre-back in advance, mimicking a header on the touchline then celebrating passionately as the ball hit the back of the net.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos headed in a third on the hour mark just four minutes after coming on to make things more comfortable and no doubt ease the nerves of a man who won the competition three years in a row with Sevilla.

Watch the brilliant moment he watched the second go in below.
