Europa League: Kieran Tierney Scores As Arsenal Beat Fc Zurich 1-0
Kieran Tierney’s scores as Arsenal beat Fc Zurich 1-0 to hold onto top spot in Europa league group A.
Tierney kept his composure to spear a finish from the edge of the box shortly after the quarter-hour mark, but it wouldn’t open the floodgates for Mikel Arteta’s side, who finish their group-stage campaign with just eight goals from their six games.
Zurich came close to equalising when Adrian Guerrero’s finish was ruled out for offside but the result means the Gunners are now unbeaten in 14 home matches in all competitions, with PSV now facing a play-off against a third-place finisher in the Champions League.
Zurich’s failure to better Bodo/Glimt’s result means it is the Norwegians who finish third in Group A, qualifying for the Europa Conference League knockout-round play-off, where they will face a group runner-up from that competition.
Attention now turns to domestic action for Arteta, with Arsenal looking to consolidate their position at the Premier League summit when they visit Chelsea on Sunday, but they are set to be without Takehiro Tomiyasu after the full-back was forced off with an injury in the closing stages.
