 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.

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)
