Gary Lineker and Ian Wright react as Arsenal crash out of the Europa League following Olympiacos loss

Arsenal have crashed out of the Europa League following a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Olympiacos in the second-leg of the last-32 at The Emirates last night.

The Gunners won 1-0 in the first-leg but Pape Abou Cisse’s 53rd-minute goal for the Greek side forced the game into extra-time.

Arsenal thought they had booked a place in the last-16 after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s bicycle-kick drew them level and put them 2-1 up on aggregate seven minutes from time.

However, Olympiacos left it late to break their hearts, with Youssef El Arabi’s 120th-minute winner ensuring the visitors went through on the away-goal rule.
