Follow all the latest fall-out from the Emirates below…
GOOD MORNING, ARSENAL FANS
Well, it was heartbreak at the Emirates.
Arsenal went into the second-leg against Olympiacos with a one goal advantage from Greece.
But the Gunners blew it away.
After Pape Abou Cisse put Olympiacos 1-0 up in the game and level in the tie, it went to extra-time.
Skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang thought he had netted a dramatic equaliser 113th minute with bicycle kick that spectacularly hit the net.
But Olympiacos shattered hearts with just a minute to go after Youssef El-Arabi latched onto a cross and put the away side 2-1 up and on route to a shock win.
There was room for late drama, though.
As a ball was lumped into the Olympiacos box it fell to Aubameyang who somehow from just yards out put his effort wide – and that was all she wrote.
The Gunners skipper was left in tears as Arsenal lost for the first time in 2020 and were knocked out of the Europa League.
Aubameyang missed a sitter to win the game at the death
CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang really should have won it with seconds left for the Gunners.
But that's it. They are out!
Olympiacos celebrate wildly in North London – what a result for those travelling Greek fans.
The Europa League dream is over for Arsenal and the pressure will continue to mount on Mikel Arteta.
