Arsenal 0-1 Olympiacos - Europa League Round of 16
After winning 3-1 away a fortnight ago in the first leg, I guess Arsenal fans could have been mistaken in their belief that a 100% record (so far) in this year's Europa League would be maintained.
Instead we saw the usual wasted opportunities to take the goal scoring chances and were made to pay for it when a shot was deflected past Leno. El Arabi, the player was the player that scored the winner. He has not scored against Arsenal in three consecutive Europe league games for Olympiacos. At least this time, it wasn't the tie winner.
It was all pretty insipid and even after they went a man down in the 82 minute Arsenal didn't look like they would score at all.
The only bright spot in the evening was rivals Tottenham Hotspur (see NLD post) managed to go to Dinamo Zagreb with a two goal advantage and lose 3-0! Still, they have the Carabao Cup Final to contest against Manchester City.
So we go into the draw for the quarter finals later today. What's the betting we get another difficult tie?
