RENNES, France: Arsenal face a major battle if they are to reach the Europa League quarter-finals after a 3-1 defeat away to Rennes in France on Thursday , despite Alex Iwobi putting the Gunners ahead early on.
The Gunners recovered from a first-leg deficit to beat BATE Borisov in the last round, but Rennes are a step up in quality and are revelling in what is already their best ever European run. This result is also a shot in the arm for French clubs after Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League humiliation against Manchester United on Wednesday.
Rennes slowly grew into the game, though, with Hatem Ben Arfa - who was sidelined last season by Emery when both were at Paris Saint-Germain - increasingly influential. Bourigeaud struck the wall from the resulting free-kick, but the ball came back to him and he sent a stunning half-volley arrowing into the far corner.
