00:00but no one's really been on the end of it but it's a clear theme down that left-hand side maybe to
00:04exploit but um Arsenal really really impressed with their first half performance but their game
00:09management has got to be spot on because they're winning the game keep a clean sheet and it's a
00:14fantastic performance and we know Olympiacos can come back so they'll have the utmost respect for
00:19them let's rejoin our commentators for the second half Steve Sidwell and Steve Bauer and there is a
00:24familiar face in the form of Jose Holobas the former Watford player who's going to be part of
00:33a double substitution here for Olympiacos at halftime that is Kostas Fortunis the Greek
00:40international varsity experienced who's also going to come on Holobas 36 now his first season of his
00:46second spell after those six years at Watford Valbuena has made way for Fortunis and Ryabchuk
00:55has gone off for Holobas so double change from Pedro Martins the Portuguese coach as Olympiacos
01:04got us underway in the second half trailing by that Martin Odegaard goal to nil Odegaard the
01:1214th different scorer in the Europa League this season for the Gunners
01:18I mentioned they've now scored in 25 consecutive Europa League games
01:24and there's the first Norwegian to score for Arsenal 45th different nationality
01:37game management Steve was used there a couple of times it's it's key isn't it the way Arsenal
01:41playing at the moment yeah it's funny I've literally just written the same
01:46sentences down game management no errors make Olympiacos feed off the crumbs if they're going
01:52to earn anything but they got to really earn it you know they need to just really control
01:58the ball speed Arsenal dictate the game this game is all open for them now really be professional
02:04now Willian
02:24Pate from range no problems there for Jose Sar of course make that fantastic save from
02:30I found Yang in the first half I think when he received he was going to look to play Bellerin out
02:37on the right hand side but he was tucked in so if we'd have a shot why not
02:49this is probably where I'd like to see real leadership qualities of
02:53Pate yes in that middle midfield for Arsenal
02:57saying that they've missed someone of that stature and that presence over the years
03:02you can really fill that void
03:06he has won this trophy before but there's Atletico of course beating Arsenal along the way in the
03:11semi-finals he's played in the Champions League final but Diego Simeone's team as well
03:17frustratingly this is only a 17th Arsenal appearance tonight
03:21and they will hope between now and the end of the season that he can get that extended run
03:26in the heart of their midfield
03:47you can see there on your screen real good shape there from Arsenal in that
03:514-3-3 just plugging the gaps plugging the holes trying to be hard to break down
03:59Polibas
04:08that's good work from Pate
04:15so he dispossessed Mizoras who had that opportunity
04:18when David Luiz was caught in the first half
04:23you'd probably say that the chances Olympiacos had in the first half was the
04:27was the best out of both teams and should really have scored at least one
04:31Arsenal very lucky to start learning from these mistakes
04:48here's the goal scorer Erdegaard
04:54Pate switching play
04:59Tini driving once more
05:06away by Sokratis
05:08Kliked on by Fortunis
05:23El Arabe their top scorer with 20 goals
05:29to bring in Holobas
05:38so
05:55Chaka in the way and Gabriel prevents the corner
06:08so
06:24Sokratis
06:38Sokratis
06:58you have to say on the whole there has been a progression with Arsenal
07:03the other way that he's changing the way that they play
07:06that philosophy bringing players in
07:11there is a period of change Arsenal fans need to accept that
07:19he did say yesterday he knew the project was going to go bang once the normality returns
07:26he's very bullish about that he's taking the club in the right direction
07:30progression in this competition will only help in that sense
07:37Pate
07:46well done for Tini Saka
08:01so
08:14not one nail away from home you don't really want to say this but they look so comfortable
08:17last time well that's the worrying thing isn't it because you are nervous with Arsenal being
08:24in these kind of situations you see what happened last season
08:29in the first leg but they got such a strong bench this evening i'm sure Arteta would love
08:37to get that cushion of another goal with just one eye maybe on the weekend with the north
08:42London derby on sunday
08:45a huge eight days it is in fact as well as Spurs and the second leg of this game
08:51they've got a trip to West Ham and a home game with Liverpool as well up and coming
08:56they're upset they didn't get a free kick there Olympiacos but this is Obamiyang at the other end
09:04Tini, Obamiyang's cross, Holobas didn't clear that very well and Tini and Saka almost got in each other's way
09:16the gaps appeared there in that Olympiacos back line
09:19Obamiyang just tried to feed a cross in there possibly to better in on that far post
09:29you've got to say in possession out of possession Arsenal have been very good
09:32tonight i've been very impressed doing the hard yards Danny Ceballos
09:39and he's down there and ready to come on just as he did apparently at the weekend
09:49here goes Tini again towards Obamiyang, Holobas in the way
10:11Saka
10:12Erdegaard, Bellerin wanted it, he's got it and that was deflected for an Arsenal corner
10:23probably offside flag was up in the end against Bellerin
10:26yeah Erdegaard was waiting for Bellerin just to make a movement he was just standing
10:32behind the fullback when it arrived he was offside when it played a little bit earlier
10:38I think it's that shoulder isn't it that's possibly offside
10:43very minimal well they are wrapping Thomas Pate and Cottonwall
10:46lasted just over the hour at Turf Moor on Saturday less than an hour
10:51tonight they want him on the pitch for every game between now and the end of the season
10:55so the Garnet and Departs and Danny Ceballos who featured in both games against Olympiacos last season
11:04is on in his place
11:08well Ceballos is a player that will come on and demand the ball and dictate a tempo
11:17immediately involved
11:21they couldn't find Obamiyang much to the captain's frustration
11:24you can see the disappointment there from Ceballos straight away
11:34that was a real opportunity there to feed Obamiyang in for a 1v1
11:54Jose Sarr clear and straight to Ceballos
12:04it's an Olympiacos throw
12:24Manchester City and Porto have stopped Olympiacos scoring at home all season
12:46still Arsenal with that goal advantage from Erdogan
12:49but they've got to throw that
13:03Xhaka
13:04Laino
13:12oh Ceballos, Laino is out of his goal here
13:16and Arsenal have done it again
13:18victims of their own downfall
13:22El Alabi makes them pay
13:26they had a let off with David Luiz in the first half
13:30but they haven't survived that one
13:32and the familiar story returns to haunt the Gunners
13:37and it's 1-1
13:39we talk about game management and decision making
13:42and as soon as Gabriel leaves the ball when it goes back towards Leno
13:46I don't know why he's played it back into Ceballos
13:49he just needs to open up his body and play out to David Luiz or Villarin
13:55but why he's gone back into the middle where there's bodies
13:57you've got to say it's a fantastic finish
14:00for El Alabi
14:02pixie spot
14:04and Leno's scratching to get back
14:07but again self-inflicted from Arsenal
14:10they just do not learn
14:13and El Alabi who scored that goal
14:16at the Emirates in the second leg last season in the 120th minute
14:20to eliminate Arsenal
14:22has scored against them again
14:24to square it up
14:28at 1-1 on the night
14:30Bruma's gone off
14:31and the Serbian
14:33Rangelovic has come on
14:35a 23-year-old
14:37who started at the Emirates last season
14:41well we said it Steve
14:42the only way Olympiacos looked like scoring
14:46was from an Arsenal error
14:47and so it has been proven
14:50I'm sure that would have been the team talk at half time
14:53from Mikhail Arteta
14:54you know, don't give him anything
14:56to feed off, to thrive off, to build their confidence
14:59on
15:01and when the ball went back to Leno
15:02he does the right thing at the start
15:03he goes to the right hand side of his box
15:05to create an angle
15:07but then just take it out on your right side
15:09and play it to Bellarino
15:10go long, relieve the pressure
15:12why he's gone back into danger
15:14back into bodies
15:16it's as though they're trying to play
15:18such intricate football
15:20in the wrong areas at the wrong times
15:50there's the Norwegian once more
16:08Bellerin
16:16Saka, that's patient
16:18and that's overhead
16:21well this is going to be the test of character now for Arsenal
16:24because Olympiacos will want to frustrate
16:28you can see there, Larravi
16:30picking his spot
16:33just guides it, passes it into the net
16:35it's a real calm finish
16:38Bellarino is where the back of the goal is
16:40that's 21 for the season for the Moroccan
16:42after 27 last season
16:47unfortunately scored in both seasons now against Arsenal
17:05and that is nine consecutive games
17:07without a clean sheet for the Gunners
17:12yeah they've had issues
17:14defensively
17:16and again
17:18half these clean sheets
17:20are down to their own undoing
17:25that expression
17:26tells the story
17:31just been in total control
17:33dominated this game
17:34couldn't do enough start to now
17:37for an hour
17:42what do you say to supporters who say
17:44well that's the manager Steve
17:45the way he wants us to play
17:47if you're an individual player in an individual situation though
17:50is that not your responsibility
17:52well there's
17:53you've got to
17:54you've got to feel as though
17:56Leno's being told that he cannot kick it
17:58long
17:59for whatever reason
18:00and then they have to play out and they're going to stick by their principles
18:04but
18:05you've got to realise in certain situations
18:08it has to go long
18:09and going long is not just whacking down the pitch
18:11it could just be a clip into the front man
18:13there's still
18:14you know a completed pass
18:15that is still reading the situation
18:18it's as though
18:19they want to just try and play this intricate
18:21triangle football
18:22niche of their box
18:23play their way out of danger
18:26where they can just relieve that
18:28sort of pressure
18:29with just one key pass
18:33Willian has found Tierney
18:36Sokratis with the
18:38defensive header
18:43Sovajos wasn't getting to that
18:47Mandjelovic the Serbian
18:51and it's open here
18:53Buchalakis
18:56Muzuras
18:58and we'll see through in the end

19:34Arsenal currently eight points
19:36off sixth
19:37which would be
19:40guaranteed European position of course
19:43they've been in Europe every season since 1996
19:48this competition
19:50their best route of ensuring that record stays intact
19:55although he's going to prioritise his competition of
19:58the incentive of Champions League he will get judged
20:01Nikola Teta on
20:03league performances and league finish
20:05although they are in a
20:08transition period now
20:10bringing youngsters through
20:12who have actually been
20:14some of the highlights of this season
20:18but the home form
20:19or the league form does need to improve
20:25it's worth reminding their league position last season was their lowest for 25 years
20:34foul on Gabriel
20:36by El Arabic
20:47this is where the trust issue comes in now
20:49with Arsenal from their fans because
20:51Olympiacos have got an equaliser
20:55and Arsenal just need to regroup
20:57just need to see it out
20:58there's nothing wrong with consolidating for the next five minutes
21:01just at the moment
21:02look all over the place in terms of positioning as a structure
21:05as a shape
21:10that's a foul by the former Arsenal man Sokratis
21:25Gabriel and David Luiz make their way forward
21:51William behind it
21:53and it's going to be Erdegaard's delivery
21:56didn't reach David Luiz
21:57had it away by Mbiya
22:07La La
22:10that was a risky pass
22:11Mbiya
22:16Vrchlakis
22:26Randjelovic
22:31Ortunis
22:36Kamara
22:37Randjelovic
22:39oh what a chance for El Arabic
22:43there's a deflection on the way through
22:44it's an Olympiacos corner
22:46but Arsenal were living dangerously there
22:48well I mean this started with the risky pass
22:51in their own box
22:52and it built all the way up
22:54for a chance for El Arab
22:57really good one touch
22:59play in and around Arsenal
23:01and it's good defending in the end
23:10Ortunis with the corner
23:12Gabriel's first header then William
23:20Ortunis once more
23:23around Xhaka
23:26Bellerin in the way
23:27renewed vigour now about the host all of a sudden
23:31cleared by Tierney
23:34I would like to have carried the passes
23:36in that sequence there from Olympiacos because
23:39the play was superb
23:40the game had really stretched
23:43sort of an Arsenal shape
23:45it wasn't compact
23:47there was gaps to exploit
23:48and Olympiacos done that with good one touch passing
23:51it just goes to show that these players
23:53have got the quality to do that
23:55we didn't see it in the first hour
24:04been defeated twice in 22 home games
24:08and one of those was Manchester City
24:10Olympiacos
24:14back on terms in this first leg
24:17that's an Olympiacos throw
24:24that mistake and goal
24:25has just rattled Arsenal
24:28yeah but there's more than enough
24:30experience
24:32out there that
24:34will be showing some leadership qualities
24:37of that's the foot
24:38the defenders just tuck in the fullbacks in
24:41the midfield players just sitting tight
24:43trying to get close to Olympiacos
24:46players to win the ball back and then break
24:48or the counterattack and build their way back into the game
24:50Arsenal
24:55that's for Lala to chase
24:57Tierney goes with him
25:02Fortunis
25:04El Arabi
25:09Holabas
25:15nice turn from Erdekar
25:22no Saka is there
25:23and he's found him
25:30still Saka
25:32Olympiacos
25:34top bodies in the way
25:38David Luiz has got it back
26:00Erdekar
26:12you just feel that needs to be a change
26:14for Arsenal
26:16got someone like Lacazette
26:18Pepe
26:19don't know how
26:20match fit Smithbrough is
26:25he's Erdekar
26:37William
26:47Sabayos
26:52right wall in front of him
26:56Erdekar now he's got space
26:58wants it on his left of course
26:59and again bodies in the way
27:01and headed away by Sokratis
27:06he was desperate to get it back on his left foot
27:08wasn't he
27:10he might have been better off charging
27:14the captain's down
27:15there's been another goal in North London
27:18and it has gone to Tottenham
27:19and Harry Kane has got it again
27:2026 for the season now
27:22two for Kane
27:23two for Spurs
27:24against Danimo Zagreb
27:31that's the strike there wasn't it
27:32some
27:33some venom
27:35in one strike
27:36can you look at this
27:38a guided pass into the back of there
27:49Olympiacos will make it hard now for Arsenal
27:51we've seen in the last five minutes
27:54getting bodies behind the ball
27:56look how many bodies there are there
27:57four, five
27:59Olympiacos players
28:01that's where a change needs to come in for Arsenal
28:04a bit of urgency
28:05a bit of
28:07intent in and around Olympiacos box
28:19fouled by Urdekart
28:37Pedro Martins must have feared the worst at times in that first half
28:45the fifth Portuguese coach to
28:47take charge of Olympiacos
28:50one of those predecessors Marco Silva was in the hot seat here
29:00Aubameyang to Willian
29:11Urdekart
29:18Al-Bayyad Al-Rabi
29:39always tries to
29:41come back in so on that favoured left foot
29:43he's better off playing it out to Bellerin
29:45Bellerin give him a great option, a good outlet
29:50here he is again
29:5222 year old into Bellerin
29:54goalkeeper came and just about got that
29:57Jose Sarr
30:00Willian
30:30David Luiz
30:51Willian from range
30:57and all of that play is always in front
30:59of the Olympiacos wall
31:01on the 18 yard
31:02on the 18 yard box
31:03that will suit them down to the ground
31:06so Arsenal need to be a little bit
31:08little bit more clever
31:09little bit more astute
31:10making runs in behind
31:11might have to be a sacrifice run
31:13to try and disrupt
31:14that back line
31:17it's the Egyptian striker Ahmed Hassan
31:21who is going to be introduced for Olympiacos for the last quarter of an hour or so
31:24imminently
31:32Willian's gone down holding his face there
31:48how many
31:50is the Arsenal change from Mikel Arteta
32:05Ahmed Hassan is
32:07going to come on first for
32:09the goal scorer El Arabi
32:13fresh legs up top for Olympiacos
32:18after he was gifted this
32:24and certainly made the most of it
32:26his 21st goal of the season for Olympiacos level
32:30in the Egypt international
32:32he was a Europa League quarter finalist with Braga
32:36and Portugal is on in his place
32:41some issue down there with Elneny's attire
32:43he can't come on yet
32:44here's Habamia
32:48Erdogan
32:49another block this time Mbiya and then cleared by Sokratis
33:02Saka
33:17an intricate again from Arsenal
33:19killer pass at the end of it
33:21Tierney
33:25has done well again Tierney
33:27out of the air by Jose Sarr
33:30excellent play from Tierney
33:32he was being doubled up there
33:34always trying to get across in
33:37managed to create half a yard for himself
33:41just across wasn't good enough for Habamia
33:49cleared by Gabriel
33:55Sokratis first of that
34:13be interesting to see when Elneny gets on
34:17there's three changes Smith Rowe
34:21Elneny
34:24will come clear in a moment this is Saka
34:31Ceballos
34:34Erdogan
34:36then Bellerin
34:38Ceklakis with the block
34:40Arsenal with just their third corner of the game
34:42Pepe is the third change incidentally
34:45a triple change
34:47for the last 10 minutes or so from Mikel Arteta
34:49and I think he's going to wait till after this corner
34:52to do so and it's gone short to Willian
34:56attacked by Gabriel
35:00what a powerful header
35:03from the big Brazilian
35:06his third Arsenal goal
35:08has restored their lead
35:14he wanted it the most he attacked it
35:17and it's 2-1 Arsenal
35:19we're talking about character, desire
35:22look at that
35:23what a header that is
35:26to get Arsenal straight back in the lead
35:29he wanted it more
35:30he jumped about two yards
35:33before he even made contact with the ball
35:35look at that get out of the way
35:43fantastic lead, great connection
35:48subsequent VAR check is underway
35:51and that's why the German referee Daniel Siebert
35:55has the pause button placed
35:58and Arsenal wait anxiously, Emvia is down
36:04it was Emvia
36:05and you can see Xhaka there indicating to Sokratis that
36:08his arms were down
36:09meanwhile Arsenal's three substitutes
36:11still wait
36:13but he surely can't get punished
36:16for that header
36:19he's having a running jump
36:21he's got eye contact on the ball all the time
36:26I mean it is a sublime header
36:34check from Emvia continues
36:39it's unclear where the referee is going here
36:42I thought he was going to the pit side
36:43Monash is going to give a yellow card
36:47to the Olympia Arclos bench
36:57to the assistant
37:03still a little bit unclear
37:04is this being reviewed by VAR or
37:07is this just
37:10Elneny's replaced Willian
37:12we know that much
37:14I think he's given the goal
37:18I think the check is complete
37:21and he's just waiting for the last two Arsenal changes
37:23Smith Rowe for the first goal scorer Erdegaard
37:28he'll hit this rocket in the first half
37:36Smith Rowe has only trained once
37:39prior to this game
37:45he's going to play the last eight minutes or so
37:47and Pepe is as well for Saka
37:50he's actually got three Europa League goals in
37:52seven ties this season
37:54as well as Pepe
37:55so the club record signing is on
38:00and Gabriel has scored his first ever goal in Europe
38:03and that's the difference in this first leg
38:06now
38:09we talk about commitment and desire
38:11I mean there is that in absolute abundance
38:15with that header there
38:20two away goals for Arsenal
38:31and they've gone out of play
38:33it's an Arsenal throw
38:36it looked like the changes was going to be made
38:38before the goal was scored so
38:40the intent was there to go out and win the game
38:43they've made the free subs changed quality with quality
38:46possibly with the eye on
38:49Sunday's game against Spurs
39:06along from Leno
39:08lovely touch from Aubameyang
39:15Sobhios into Smith Rowe
39:31some Sobhios to his fellow Spaniard Bellerin
39:38Sobhios once more
39:40Pepe
39:41Bellerin
39:42can he pick anyone out
39:43oh goodness me right across the goal line
39:50well I had my eye on Smith Rowe
39:52he was at the far post
39:53then he just checked his run at the very very last minute for the cutback
39:56watch at the bottom of your screen Smith Rowe
39:58if he carries on his run he gets there
39:59he just checks back
40:02for the cutback
40:19Elneny
40:20surely not
40:21oh yes
40:24Elneny the substitute
40:27with Arsenal's third away goal
40:31Elneny his fourth ever Gunners goal
40:34they all come in Europe
40:36none more important than that
40:40a two goal advantage and three away goals
40:45well he picks up the ball and he keeps going
40:47and going and going
40:49and no one goes to close him down so he says why not
40:52and it's a great strike
40:54you see from this angle
40:55it cuts across it
40:56it's always going away from the keeper
40:59in off the post
41:00no chance
41:03look at the swerve
41:04always fading away
41:06Sarr does get a fingertip to it
41:09but look at the joy
41:10that it brings the Arsenal players
41:14well it's been the typical Arsenal rollercoaster
41:18dominance
41:20almost gifting a goal in the first half
41:22then gifting a goal in the second
41:25what a response after that equaliser
41:28Gabriel
41:30and then Elneny
41:32and they lead 3-1
41:38they're just so unpredictable aren't they
41:40Arsenal
41:41you just never know what you're going to get
41:43let alone in 90 minutes
41:46just from minute to minute during the game
41:50Masuras off incidentally
41:52and Routos
41:54the 23 year old
41:56on for Olympiakos
42:04two goals in six minutes that really have
42:07put a different complexion on this tie for Arsenal
42:12for the majority of this game they have been in complete dominance
42:15complete control
42:18collapse of concentration and error
42:20for Olympiakos
42:21straight back into it
42:22and then it was rattled
42:23and it was a test of character
42:26two big goals though
42:27the header from Gabriel was just fantastic
42:30really shows the statement that
42:33and then Elneny there
42:34follows it up with a sublime strike
42:37from outside the box
42:40the last team to score three
42:41in this stadium
42:44was Bayern Munich in October 2019
42:48doesn't happen often
42:56how can they keep this two goal advantage intact
43:03Shaka beaten to that
43:08Vladilovich
43:11cross that asked the question
43:18and it was
43:19from Arsenal's undoing
43:21it was Bellerin that played
43:23tried to play the ball back inside
43:26and was holding a dangerous cross
43:27for Olympiakos
43:30Lacazette for Aubameyang is the change
43:32Lacazette just getting his final instructions from Steve Round down there
43:37gives me an opportunity to remind you of the knockout stages
43:40second legs in the Champions League next week
43:42Tuesday night it's Manchester City
43:44they're in Budapest for their home game against Gladbach
43:46two goals to the good
43:47seven o'clock on 2 HD
43:50and then on Wednesday
43:51Chelsea with that goal advantage against Atletico
43:54and a bridge
43:56from seven on 2 HD and ultimate
44:04Lacazette on who scored in the first leg
44:06against Olympiakos last season
44:28two unlikely sources really in the second half
44:30Gabriel and Elneny
44:33Arsenal have 15 different goal scorers in this Europa League season
44:41more importantly they have three away goals
44:43there's Elneny in a more recognisable position
44:47as we head towards the last minute of the 90
44:56Karen and Martin said in the shootout at half time that
44:59it was the best that they've seen Arsenal play
45:01in terms of first half
45:02we know the game ebbs and flows but
45:04the way they set up
45:06with Willian and
45:09Saka coming as inside forwards
45:12allowing Bellerin and Tierney to get high and wide
45:16they showed real quality
45:18with their deliveries
45:20real composure in their play
45:25and we've seen the other side where they can just get rattled
45:27and be a bit loose in possession
45:29in structure and shape
45:32and they will get found out by opposition
45:35with that in mind would you be confident with
45:37two goal advantage and three away goals
45:39as it stands heading to the Emirates
45:41you have to I mean the way that they played
45:44for the first hour
45:47now with a two goal advantage
45:49Olympiakos have to come out
45:51the interesting thing would be if they do go
45:53one up Olympiakos
45:55then it's a test of strength and character
45:58from Arsenal
46:02Bellerin
46:03might get even better yeah
46:04Lacazette
46:05slightly behind Pepe
46:10five minutes of stoppage time
46:14and it's just that running behind fullbacks
46:17such a hard finish
46:19Pepe
46:20running towards the front post
46:22I think Lacazette was just trying to hit an area
46:24rather than a play up
46:55very important couple of weeks
46:56and this is a good start to it for Arsenal
46:58if it stays this way
46:59head of the North London derby of course
47:01then the second leg
47:02against Olympiakos
47:03then a trip to the London Stadium to face West Ham
47:07and then a game against the champions Liverpool at the Emirates
47:11it could be a pivotal
47:13turning point of their season
47:16every team has moments
47:18this could be Arsenal's coming up if they get through that
47:21really strong
47:23can really go into the back end of that season
47:26on a high
47:28finishing the league as strong as they can and
47:31progressing through this competition and
47:33hopefully winning it to
47:35bring Champions League football back to the Emirates
47:42it's their fourth season out
47:45Darning at Europe's top table
48:00Tierney
48:01into Smith Rowe
48:04still 7 forward in this move Arsenal
48:06in the 92nd minute
48:07Ceballos
48:10giving away to Tierney
48:20they haven't got to do nothing to see now
48:22if they just see the game out
48:25four and a half minutes remaining
48:27just be professional
48:28game management
48:29keep the ball in front of you
48:32David Luiz and Gabriel
48:34make sure full backs are tucking in
48:36the midfielders just sitting in front
48:38shoring things up
48:41get the ball
48:43be passed around down the sides
48:45nothing through the middle
48:50Halabas
49:00Koutnis
49:08Koutnis
49:18Michalakis
49:22Halabas
49:35concentration time for Arsenal
49:37David Luiz has got his head of Ahmed Hassan
49:43Ceballos
49:48now Lacazette
49:50Pepe calling for it
49:51inside the penalty area
49:53to try and find Smith Rowe instead
49:58you can see the pass
50:00that Lacazette was trying to Smith Rowe
50:03Luiz is too heavy
50:08Koutnis
50:14Elneny
50:16look at Bellerin
50:18bursting down the right hand side
50:19final minute of stoppage time
50:22cleared by Sokratis
50:23but Arsenal will have a corner
50:27even Bellerin there
50:28look we're in the 95th minute
50:30still getting forward
50:31the full backs
50:33are so vital, so key
50:35to the way Arsenal play
50:37they really balance each other off really well
50:52no rush to take the corner
51:01eventually Pepe does
51:03had it in the air by Sokratis
51:08Tierney
51:20a strong scoreline
51:21for Arsenal
51:22to take back to the Emirates
51:25and a significant step towards
51:28the quarterfinals
51:29a 3-1 win
51:30three away goals
51:32all that
51:33after we'd seen the other side of their risk and reward play
51:36but Mikel Arteta
51:37will be absolutely delighted
51:40to come to Greece
51:41and score three times
51:43and take that scoreline back
51:45peg back at 1-1
51:46then a header from Gabriel
51:47and then the strike from the substitute Elneny
51:49and those two goals
51:51in six minutes
51:53give the scoreline a much
51:55different complexion
51:56and a very positive one
51:58for Arsenal
51:59ahead of the second leg
52:01it has finished in Athens
52:03Olympiacos 1
52:04Arsenal 3
