Europa League! Arsenal Qualify For Next Round Despite 2-1 Loss Against Ostersunds At The Emirates

Europa League! Arsenal Qualify For Next Round Despite 2-1 Loss Against Ostersunds At The Emirates

Arsenal survived a huge scare to claim an aggregate victory over Swedish minnows Ostersunds FK and reach the last 16 of the Europa League.
The Gunners won the first leg 3-0 but one of football’s great shocks looked on the cards at half-time after the visitors struck two goals in 70 seconds.
Graham Potter’s side, who have risen from Sweden’s fourth tier since 2010, were the better side in the first half and led 2-0 after a Calum Chambers own goal, deflecting in Hosam Aiesh’s shot, was followed by Ken Sema’s clinical strike.
But the Gunners – who named a reasonably strong side only three days before their Carabao Cup final with Manchester City – improved slightly after the break and Sead Kolasinac finished from Hector Bellerin’s cross to relieve the sense of dread in the stadium.
Arsenal, who have never won the Uefa Cup or Europa League, will discover their last-16 opponents at 12:00 GMT on Friday.
Ostersunds are only the second team to win a game at the Emirates in their last 28 matches – a run dating back to March 2017.
