In an effort to recover from their defeat in Europe, Arsenal takes on Crystal Palace at the Emirates on Sunday (March 19). The Heavy armament specialists were taken out of the UEFA Europa Association by Wearing CP, who won 5-3 on punishments to progress to the quarterfinals.
Having attracted the main leg 2-2 Lisbon, the sides played out another draw. After the hour mark, Pedro Goncalves canceled out Arsenal’s first-half opener scored by Granit Xhaka. In extra time, there was no difference between the two teams because of the penalties. Gabriel Martinelli missed the crucial kick for Mikel Arteta’s team, sending Sporting through.
