Arsenal fans are forced to vacate their seats after the Emirates stadium roof suffers HUGE leaks during 1-1 draw with Sporting Lisbon... as Gunners fans soak up the rain during their Europa League elimination

Arsenal fans were forced to vacate their seats during their 1-1 draw with Sporting Lisbon after the stadium suffered huge leaks.

The Gunners crashed out of the Europa League after goals from Granit Xhaka and Pedro Goncalves on the night tied the aggregate score at 3-3.

Mikel Arteta's side were then taken to a penalty shoot-out, where they lost 5-3 on after a missed spot-kick from Gabriel Martinelli gave the visitors the advantage.

And, to make matters worse, a number of Arsenal fans were left drenched as leaks from the Emirates roof began pouring down in multiple sections of the stadium.
