Mikel Arteta saw his Arsenal side reach the Europa League quarter-finals despite losing at home to 10-man Olympiakos before declaring they must improve in the next round or be knocked out.

The Gunners were beaten 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium as Youssef El-Arabi scored against Arsenal for the third game in a row.

Recalled skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang missed a number of good chances to kill off the tie but a 3-1 win in Greece last week was enough to see Arteta's side through.
