Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard and teammates react after a penalty shoot-out in the UEFA Europa League round of 16, second-leg football match between Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon at the Emirates Stadium in London on March 16, 2023. Sporting Lisbon won the match 5-3 on penalties. AFPPIX: Sporting Lisbon’s Pedro Goncalves scored an incredible equaliser and the Portuguese team went on to knock Arsenal out of the Europa League with a 5-3 penalty shootout victory in Thursday’s last 16 second leg.
Goncalves’ audacious goal was reminiscent of David Beckham’s long-range chip for Manchester United against Wimbledon that launched him to superstardom in 1996. “A huge blow obviously. There were moments in the first 75 minutes where we weren’t at our level. We gave every ball away and we didn’t have the capacity to take the game,” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said.
Arsenal haven’t won a European trophy since lifting the Cup-Winners’ Cup in 1994 and their wait will go on for another year.Arsenal sit five points clear of second placed Manchester City in the Premier League as they chase a first title since 2004. Jesus, who came off the bench against Fulham on Sunday for his first appearance since the injury, nearly marked his return with a goal as he stretched to reach Reiss Nelson’s cross, forcing Adan to save at full stretch.
Arteta had seen enough of Arsenal’s injury problems and took off Jesus at the interval to preserve his star striker.
