Following a 1-1 draw in the first leg, the Gunners took control of the tie through a sensational long-range strike from Eberechi Eze in the thirty-sixth minute.
Declan Rice doubled the advantage after the interval with a low driven effort into the bottom corner to secure a 3-1 aggregate win.
Mikel Arteta’s side will now face Sporting CP in the next round as they continue to chase an unprecedented four trophies this season.
