Arsenal endured a difficult evening on Thursday, getting knocked out of the Europa League by Sporting CP.

Mikel Arteta's side drew 1-1 with Sporting on the night following a 2-2 stalemate in the first leg. The match then eventually went to extra time and penalties, where the Portuguese outfit won 5-3 after Sporting goalkeeper Adan saved Gabriel Martinelli's spot-kick.
