Arsenal 1-3 AS Monaco: Gunners stunned as Monaco win at the Emirates


AS Monaco took the lead in the 38th minute through influential midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia. 


The former Arsenal-target hit a long range striker that deflected off Gunners’ defender Per Mertesacker and into the back of the net. It stunned the stadium, but Arsenal failed to fight back before half-time, and went into the break behind.

They start the second-half a lot quicker as expected after a telling off from manager Arsene Wenger, but it failed to get a result. Players continued to give away the ball in dangerous positions, and it subsequently led to Monaco’s second breakthrough goal from Dimitar Berbatov. The former Tottenham man collected a cutback and made no mistake with a composed finish past David Ospina.

Substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain pulled a goal back for Arsenal late on, with a brilliant curled effort from the edge of the box, but he then lost possession a minute later that saw Monaco restore their two-goal lead. The result sees Arsenal on the brink of elimination.
