Arsenal crashed out of the Europa League after losing the second leg of the last-32 tie 2-1 to Olympiakos at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday.
The aggregate score was 2-2 at the end of extra-time, but the visitors went through on virtue of having scored more away goals.
Pape Abou Cisse and Youssef El-Arabi scored the goals for the Greek side, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got on the scoresheet for the Gunners.
Coming back to the game, Olympiakos, needing an away goal to stay in the tie, got that through Cisse in the second half of normal time.
The defender headed in from a flat corner. He was left unmarked by the whole of the Arsenal defence.
Thereafter, the game went into extra time, with the possibility of penalties looming large.
However, six minutes from time, Aubameyang came up with a superb bicycle kick to drag the Gunners into an aggregate lead.
That joy didn’t last long though, as in the 119th, following the second phase of an Olympiakos corner, El-Arabi made a ghosting run behind the Arsenal defence to score what turned out to be the winning goal of the tie.
Somehow, the home side had one last chance falling to their main man Aubameyang to win it once again, but he fluffed his lines from four yards out.
All in all, a crushing night for Arsenal, who now have to play extremely well in the Premier League to stand a chance of qualifying for the Champions League.
Here’s how we rated the Gunners from a night to forget at the Emirates.
