Arsenal Was Eliminated From The Europa League After A Penalty Shootout.

Sporting Lisbon defeated Arsenal in a penalty shootout to eliminate them from the Europa League at the last-16 round.

After Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka had earlier pounced on a rebound for the first goal, a spectacular long-range chip by Pedro Goncalves from 46 yards forced extra time.

In the last seconds of extra time, Arsenal defender Gabriel twice had efforts cleared off the goal line and his headers just missed the target.

Minutes before Sporting’s shootout triumph, Manuel Ugarte of Sporting was also dismissed for a dangerous sliding tackle on Bukayo Saka.
