Arsenal Progress into Europa League Last 16 Despite Shock Loss to Ostersund

Arsenal overcame a massive scare in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, as they were stunned 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium by Ostersund but still progressed into the last 16 of the competition 4-2 on aggregate.

The Gunners, having cruised to a 3-0 win in the first leg in Sweden, found themselves 2-0 down at half-time, as the underdogs netted twice in a remarkable 69-second spell thanks to an own goal from Calum Chambers and a thumping finish from Ken Sema.

Arsenal responded well at the start of the second period, as Sead Kolasinac capitalised on a defensive error in the 47th minute to halve the deficit on the night.
