Arsenal is on the brink of securing their place in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, as they prepare for a pivotal clash against Girona. The setting is Spain, and the stakes couldn’t be higher for the Gunners who need just a point from this match to confirm their advancement.

The Gunners had to fight back from behind in Catalonia after some bizarre goalkeeping from debutant Neto that allowed Arnaut Danjuma to score the opener, but Jorginho’s penalty and a brilliant Ethan Nwaneri strike secured a deserved victory for Mikel Arteta’s side - their sixth out of eight in Europe so far this season.
