Greeks add to Arsenal misery

Olympiacos 2 Arsenal 1

Arsenal’s winless run continued as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat to miss out on seeding for the knockout stages of the Champions League. Schalke’s 1-1 draw at Montpellier meant they missed the chance to win Group B.

Although Czech midfielder Tomas Rosicky fired the English side ahead after 38 minutes, the Greeks fought back through a somewhat controversial effort by Giannis Maniatis and a well-taken strike from substitute Kostas Mitroglou to leave Wenger facing more questions about the direction of his team — without a win in the last four games and plummeting down the Premier League.
