Gabriel Martinelli missed from the spot as Arsenal crashed out of the Europa League after a penalty shootout loss to Sporting.
A 2-2 draw in Lisbon a week ago left this last-16 tie finely poised and it would go all the way at the Emirates Stadium, Sporting advancing 5-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw after extra-time.
The visitors were perfect from 12 yards but Martinelli’s tame effort was saved in the first ever shootout at the Emirates. Heads up and onto the next.
