Arsenal director Josh Kroenke was spotted at the Emirates on Thursday night as the Gunners confirmed top spot in their Europa League group against FC Zurich. The North London side had to match or better PSV Eindhoven's result to ensure they could finish in first after a frustrating loss in the Netherlands a week prior.
Kieran Tierney's strike from the edge of the box gave the side lift off, but they failed to sustain that pressure as the game dragged on at just a one-goal advantage. It led to the visitors causing some problems late in the game, but Mikel Arteta's men managed to see out the victory.
"I expected it to be a tough match. I’ve watched them in the last few games – how they’ve changed since their new manager arrived, how they played against Bodo," The manager told reporters after the game. "You’ve seen it and it was really difficult to get any real momentum with the way that the game developed."
