Arsenal had the chance to secure top spot in their Europa League group if they matched or had a better result than PSV when they hosted FC Zurich at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners’ resulting 1-0 victory over the Swiss side means they have confirmed first place.
Kieran Tierney was the star for the Gunners as his first-half volley ended up being the difference in the scoreline between both sides. FC Zurich pressed for an equaliser late on but Arsenal’s defence held firm.
The win means that the Gunners top their group and advance to the round of 16 without having to play in the dreaded play-off round in February. football.london takes a look at the winners and losers from the win with a surprise lean toward the later.
