Arsenal were beaten 1-0 by Olympiacos at the Emirates Stadium but still edged into the last eight of the Europa League 3-2 on aggregate.

Youssef El-Arabi’s goal was enough to give the Greek champions their second win in as many years on Arsenal’s home ground.

It wasn’t really a vintage display by the Gunners and the performance will have left Mikel Arteta with more questions than answers.

Arteta’s team were pretty average it has to be said last night. Olympiacos came and set their stall out and they could have scored more.

One thing that is baffling the club’s supporters is how the boss is deciding to use Gabriel Martinelli.

The £90,000-a-week star was introduced as a substitute with nine minutes remaining and looked pretty lively.

Arsenal fans are dumbfounded as to why he isn’t being used more often and took to Twitter afterwards.

Here is what the Arsenal fan base is saying about a lack of game time for the Brazilian wonderkid.
