Arsenal struck two late goals to beat Olympiacos and take control of their Europa League round of 16 clash – having almost proved architects of their own downfall once again. Martin Odegaard’s first Arsenal goal had them ahead only for another defensive calamity to gift Youssef El-Arabi the equaliser just before the hour. Arsenal were rocked but recovered well and would hit two goals in six minutes as a Gabriel Magalhaes header and a fine strike from substitute Mohamed Elneny earned a good victory. It was a number of sloppy moments for the Real Madrid loanee but he would make amends by thrashing Arsenal in front. That was just a hint of what was to come as Arteta’s men would all-but present Olympiacos with their equaliser.
