 Arsenal 1-0 Zurich

Let's look at all the best reaction as Arsenal clinched top spot in their Europa League group

Kieran Tierney's stunning 20-yard drive into the bottom right corner ensured the Gunners finished top of Group A on 15 points, two clear of PSV Eindhoven. It was their 10th victory in 12 matches in all competitions.

What did the papers say?

The Guardian's match report said: "In this uniquely concertinaed season, matches played every few days, squads in permanent rotation, results are probably all that matter. Though performances remain important, too, and as Arsenal lost focus against opponents who grew in belief, it appeared their minds had drifted to Sunday, and Chelsea. Three matches remain before Arsenal sign off for the World Cup, two in the Premier League, and still being leaders when football turns its focus on Qatar is clearly top priority. "

The Daily Mail said:"Kieran Tierney could not hide his shock after an opponent somehow avoided a yellow card for tearing off part of his shirt on Thursday night. The Arsenal left back scored the only goal as his side beat FC Zurich 1-0 in their final Europa League group game, securing them top spot in Group A and a more favourable draw for the knockout stages."

On the social media platforms

We spoke to a number of fans on different Facebook groups and pages. Daniel Jordan said: "I think Tierney will be big for us after the World Cup."

Another said: "Nice to get another win! Not having those extra games could prove to be very important."

Kevin told us: "I seriously think we can win this competition. Come on Arsenal!"

"From the outset, the job was to get to the top of the group. That's what we've done!"

Some Arsenal fans are already looking to the future. This is what AFTV said:

 "He’s been out for eight weeks, we expected him to be out for 12 weeks, he had an amazing recovery.

Are you looking forward to seeing Elneny back in the mix?

What a stat

Given that he only joined the club last summer: Ben White has now played more senior games for Arsenal than for any club in his career. 

Also in the Europa League

Manchester United picked up a win. However, unlike Arsenal, they will have to face a play-off against a side that has recently exited from.the Champions League.

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
