Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang missed the chance to score for Arsenal in Europa League defeat Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang appeared close to tears as he left the Emirates pitch on Thursday night, having been inches from keeping Arsenal’s Europa League dream alive. The striker, who had scored a wonderful goal in stoppage time against Olympiakos, then uncharacteristically missed a sitter. At full-time, the chance Aubameyang had to score began to sink in. “I feel very bad but that can happen,” he told BT Sport afterwards. “I don’t know how I missed this chance. I was tired, had some cramps, but it’s not an excuse. I have to score, but it can happen,” adding the club will focus on their league results to try and give supporters European football again next season. Aubameyang’s goal extra-time goal in the second leg match had put Arsenal 2-1 up on aggregate and it appeared the Premier League side were heading into the last 16. Olympiakos then hit back when Youssef El Arabi scored to give the visitors a 2-1 lead and make it 2-2 on aggregate, putting them on course to advance via away goals. Who else but him?!.
