Full-time: Well, it's deja vu for Arsenal in Europe as once again they come so close to the desired result, and fall at the final hurdle. All hope isn't lost, as if they beat Basel and PSG draw or lose to Ludogorets, the Gunners will still finish top. That looks unlikely, although the Bulgarians have secured a 0-0 draw with Basel tonight so there's hope.
