Arsenal 3-2 Kairat Almaty

Mission accomplished and confidence just about restored as Mikel Arteta’s side bounced back from their weekend defeat by Manchester United only to concede a goal with the last touch of the match and fail in their quest to become the first side in European Cup/Champions League history to win eight in a row by two or more goals.
