A fabulous first-half strike from Kieran Tierney confirmed Arsenal's place in the Europa League round of 16 as the Gunners beat FC Zurich 1-0 at Emirates Stadium on Thursday. The victory saw Arsenal finish on 15 points in Group A, two ahead of second placed PSV, who like fellow Premier League rivals Manchester United will have to face a team who finished third in their Champions League group.
Arsenal welcomed back Mohamed Elneny to their starting team on Thursday with Bukayo Saka, who played 30 minutes despite seemingly coming off injured in the first half of the Gunners win over Nottingham Forest, and Oleksandr Zinchenko who has missed the last month with a calf injury back into the squad.
Mikel Arteta's side dominated the fixture at Emirates Stadium and through their impressive Europa League group stage campaign, which has included winning five of their six matches, are set to bypass the round of 32 while fellow English side Manchester United, must face an extra two games to reach the same stage.
