Arsenal returned to Europa League action on Thursday evening as they faced off against PSV Eindhoven in a key clash for their qualification hopes. While the side had already made then next phase of the competition, they have the opportunity to miss an extra game against a team dropping from the Champions League if they finish top.
With PSV their nearest competitors, anything but a loss would secure them a place in the round of 16, however the home side looked to spoil those chances. The first half saw plenty of warning signs for the Gunners after two disallowed goals, but they weren't let off the hook after the break.
A quickfire double from Joey Veerman and Luuk de Jong means that Arsenal fell to a 2-0 defeat and have to match the Dutch club's final result to guarantee first. There are also some new injury concerns for the manager to deal with too, making the squad look thinner than before.
