Great substitutions.

Super assist from Kola

Perfect LTG, perfect.

Well played Mkhitaryan, Kolasinac - Aubameyang a big goal.

While Mustafi remains on the pitch Rennes are in with a chance.

What was the goal celebration all about. Given he earned a totally unnecessary booking I have no idea why he wanted to look like an armed robber. Maybe it was a deep message like the ref is robbing us and I want people to know

*%^@ that was a big miss. They get a goal from here and I will be spewing. 200k and plays like me

Lovely play by Ramsey though, eh Gaz? :)

Your right he has come back into the game. Mkt has been immense

That linesman deserves a statue on the cncourse

Great move that, very unlucky.

Well done AFC. A job well done.

never in doubt once we were able to keep all the players on the park

Great result, got the early goals and kept it tight at the back.

Made heavy weather of the tie but we're there.

Well done boys. Several good performances, I thought the 3 centre backs were really resolute.

Frankfurt have knocked out Inter. Benfica and Sevilla playing extra time.

AMN is built like a brick s*&thouse.

Excellent!

Is there a rule that you get booked for wearing a mask in celebration? If there is then can you get booked for those over eleborate handshake routines some players do?

Also if this is a rule, why is it a rule? Why is the taking your shirt off = yellow still a rule.

Utter nonsense and sucking the joy out of football

If the goal difference and points were the same, they would be joint top. But the goal difference is not the same, which makes Bayern top at this point in time.

Glad we beat those cheating *&!?, they spent half the game rolling around on the floor hoping we'd go down to 10 like in the first game.

So you think "the weekly results are irrelevant" until the season is over. That's possibly one of the most idiotic things I've read here. Every point won or dropped, and every goal scored and conceded in every single match over the entire season, will contribute to a team's final position.

I agree bromley, they were. AMN had a superb first half today.

Phew! Got there in the end but a nervy last few minutes and I thought we made hard work of it second half.

AMN was terrific. So too Kola.

Aubameyang's mask celebebration annoyed me a little because there was still work to be done and he seemed to lose focus after that.

Still cant see us winning it to be honest. We blow hot and cold too much and are capable of conceding at any moment. All depends on who we draw.

And Sevilla gone. Knocked out by Slavia Prague.

Job done. After we hit them like an express train in the opening 15 mins I don’t think I ever felt like the result was in doubt.
Rennes probably didn’t do themselves any favours by concentrating on trying to get one of our players sent off rather than actually playing and attacking because they were not half bad at times but lacked any final shot that would trouble Čech.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Napoli, Frankfurt, Slavic Prague, Valencia, Villarreal, benfica left in for the QF draw.

Frankfurt or Prague would probably be the easiest. Hope Napoli and Chelsea draw each other

Very happy and relieved and despite getting those 2 early goals(we have scored a lot of early goals recently) it was still very tense and nervy.
Was gutted after the first leg so this feels sweet.
Cheating unlikeable team that Rennes team are.
As for Ben Arfa the little c***. Maybe take the piss after you have gone through and not before.
Whoever we draw we must do better in the away leg.
Might be a step too far next time.
Another impressive display by AMN.
Defence were solid too..
Great news Inter and Seville are out.

Not quite as deep and subtle as that. :). It's a Black Panther mask from the movie.

Chelsea and Napoli would be the hardest draw for us but we're more than capable of beating either. I'd make us favourites against any of the others. I can see us winning the Europa League.

Watching the game from the Fox and Hounds in LA. Not sure if he's still the owner but an Arsenal fan and former Palace player (I think) owns/owned it.

That's me...right there...can't miss me...haha

Yeah baby....Black Panther.

Good to remain winning after the euphoria of beating MU, carry on going strong Arsenal!

Shout out to AMN & Kolasinac!

Maybe I am missing something but was it worth getting booked for it. Not like he was asking for world peace or god forbid a brexit deal.

On another issue terrible going ons in your homeland. The world can be a very bad place at times.

It seems ridiculous indeed. However, I suppose a line has to be drawn somewhere. You can't have players disrobing or making what could be construed as political statements. It's too potentially inflammatory.

Absolutely. But I think.... bookings expire after the quarterfinals, and Aubameyang only has the one, so there is no risk of picking up a suspension?

I think we are really getting somewhere in this debate.

I think we'll beat any of them at home. We need to make sure we can draw to any of them away.

I haven't been a fan of the back 5 when we've played it because we've often played with 2 or more holding mids with little goal/assist potential, but a back 5 with AMN and Kola flying forward AND all of Özil/Ramsey/Aubamayang/Lacazette on the pitch is much more attacking. A goal and an assist from the wing backs last night is exactly what you need from them.

Talk of City getting a 2 transfer window transfer ban for the same rule break that Chelsea were punished for.

Thanks for the clarification. It probably is of little concern then.
