See Aubameyang’s absolutely shocking miss that saw Arsenal kicked out of Europa League [VIDEO]

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored 20 goals this season for Arsenal including a magnificent effort on Thursday night.

However, it’s one goal that he probably should have scored and didn’t, that will haunt him for the rest of this season at least.

With Arsenal behind in extra-time during their Europa League tie against Olympiakos, Aubameyang had a golden opportunity take Arsenal through.

After the away side failed to deal with a ball into their box in the 103rd minute of the match, it rebounded to Aubameyang who was alone and seven yards out.

The Gabonese striker took his effort first time, but with everyone expecting the net to bulge, it flashed past the post and out for a goalkick.

Aubameyang fell to his knees and put his hand on his head, a reaction which was mirrored by his teammates, coaching staff and fans at the Emirates who could not believe that he had not scored.

Arsenal were effectively knocked out of the competition.

Take a look at the shocking miss below: 

It was a painful loss for the Gunners who had won the first leg 1-0 in Greece but had been taken to extra-time at the own stadium after Pape Abou Cisse scored for Olympiakos.

Aubameyang’s stunning bicycle kick in the 113th minute appeared to have given Arsenal the win but Olympiakos broke Gunners’ hearts with a 119-minute leveller on aggregate from Youssef El Arabi, which put them ahead on away goals.

After the game, a teary Aubameyang struggled to explain the miss to BT Sport.

I don’t even know. It can happen but I do not know how I missed this chance. I was tired, I had some cramps but it is not an excuse.

“It’s very hard, very tough.”

The response to the miss was mixed, with some Arsenal fans willing to forgive the player who has bailed them out so many times this season.

Fans of opposing clubs, however, aren’t being so charitable.
