Mikel Arteta's Arsenal were soundly beaten by PSV on a disappointing evening in Eindhoven.

The Premier League leaders Arsenal missed a chance to seal top spot in Europa League Group A as they lost to Ruud Van Nistlerooy's outift in the Netherlands on Thursday evening. 

However, despite the loss, the North Londoners only require a point to avoid the need for a pair of February play-off matches and head qqualify for the last 16 next March.

Joey Veerman's first-time finish from 16 yards and a header by substitute Luuk de Jong - after a mistake by keeper Aaron Ramsdale on his European debut - saw Arteta's side lose in Europe for the first time this term
