Europa League: Eintracht Frankfurt Beat Arsenal With Stunning Comeback
Arsenal's chance of sealing a place in the knockout stage slid into a disappointing end as Eintracht Frankfurt came from behind to win at Emirates Stadium by 2-1 and closed the gap with the English side in Group F in the race to qualify for the next round.
Gunners found themselves leaving the pitch as the losers despite being in the Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as the Bundesliga side left them stunned with a double scored by Daichi Kamada within a space of nine minutes.
Unai Emery has now failed to lead the team to win in seven consecutive games as pressure continues to mount on him and his team over their inability to win a match. Just yesterday, he expressed his confidence in his team to deliver victory and called on fans to connect to them and give him support. Sadly, they will have to manage a loss yet again with him.

Aubameyang put Gunners in the lead with a brilliant finish from inside the box following a through pass from Bukayo Saka in the first half added minutes.
The German side returned from the break to found an equalizer through Kamada who curled a shot from the edge of the box and put the side in the lead smashing the ball through to the net from the edge of the box following a corner.
Arsenal did have some good scoring chances early into the game but it eventually ended disappointingly with 18 goals conceded in nine games. Nevertheless, there are yet hope for Gunners provided they avoid losing their last group game against Standard Liege.
