Arsenal Survive Olympiakos Scare To Progress To Europa League Quarter-Finals

By Daily sports on March 19, 2021

Youssef El-Arabi’s 20th goal of the season briefly gave Olympiakos hope of a shock at the Emirates

Arsenal were given a scare by Olympiakos with a 1-0 loss but had enough from the first leg to beat the Greek side on aggregate and reach the Europa League last eight.

Leading 3-1 from the game in Greece, the Gunners were comfortable throughout the first half in London.

Some nerves began to show after Youssef El-Arabi’s shot found the net via a deflection off Gabriel to give the visitors hope of repeating last season’s shock – when they knocked the Gunners out of the Europa League in the last 32 by scoring in the final minute of extra time at Emirates Stadium.

However, Olympiakos were unable to build on El-Arabi’s goal as Arsenal managed the remainder of the tie adequately to progress, helped by a red card shown to Ousseynou Ba for dissent late on.

They will discover their quarter-final opponents when the draw is made in Switzerland at 12:00 GMT on Friday. (BBC)
