Report: Girona 1-2 Arsenal

We finished third in the Champions League table to secure a spot in the last-16 thanks to a comeback victory against Girona.

All the goals came in the first half, and Arnaut Danjuma gave the hosts a surprise lead against the run of play, but we turned things around with two goals in four minutes thanks to a Jorginho penalty and a fine Ethan Nwaneri effort.

Raheem Sterling missed a penalty deep into second-half stoppage-time, but enough had been done to secure our sixth win from eight matches in the competition this term to finish only behind Liverpool and Barcelona, and allow us the chance to watch what happens in the play-off round next month from afar.
