Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has urged his side to give their backing to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after he missed a gilt-edged chance in the final seconds of their UEFA Europa League defeat to Olympiacos on Thursday.

The Gunners lost 2-1 on the night and crashed out of the competition on away goals.

Arteta told reporters on Saturday:

"He was gutted. Obviously he scored a wonder goal that put us through in the competition and the last kick of the game he had the best chance of the game and he felt very responsible about it.
