Arsenal confirmed top spot in Group H despite suffering their first defeat of the 2017/18 UEFA Europa League. The Gunners, who had already qualified for the knockout phase, were beaten 1-0 by Cologne on Thursday but will be seeded for the last 32 after BATE Borisov and Red Star Belgrade could only manage a 0-0 draw.
Real Sociedad and Nice will join Arsenal in the next phase after confirming qualification with wins over Rosenborg and Zulte Waregem, respectively. Meanwhile, history was made by Swedish side Ostersund, who continued an excellent debut campaign in the Europa League by reaching the round of 32.
