Arsenal went out of Europe last night, despite beating Italian champions Milan 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium. Arsène Wenger's side trailed by four from last month's first leg and, despite surging into a three-goal lead by the interval, were unable to find the fourth to force extra-time. Laurent Koscielny headed the hosts ahead from a corner after seven minutes, before Tomas Rosicky took advantage of poor defending to double the lead 20 minutes later. Robin van Persie scored a third from the spot after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was fouled to bring the Premier League side to within a goal of parity. Van Persie missed Arsenal's best second-half chance, his close-range chip smothered by Christian Abbiati, and the Italian side stood firm to progress to the last eight. MORE
