Europa League: Arsenal qualify for knockout stage after 1-0 win over PSV

Following their 1-0 victory over PSV Eindhoven on Thursday, Arsenal has advanced to the next round of the Europa League.

The game’s lone goal was scored in the 71st minute by Granit Xhaka.

Mikel Arteta’s team now has four victories in a row.

Arsenal are now guaranteed to finish in the top two of Group A.

The Gunners are five points clear of second-place PSV ahead of the return fixture in Eindhoven in a week’s time.

A draw in that match will be enough for Arsenal to clinch top spot in the group and go straight into the competition’s last 16.

Teams that finish second in their group will face a playoff against a side that drops out of the Champions League.
