3. All to play for in the return leg

The 2-2 draw leaves the tie delicately placed for both Arsenal and Sporting. Since the second lag is at the Emirates, Arsenal will feel confident of getting a positive result that would mean progression into the next round.

The performance was somewhat disjointed from the Gunners, and they can’t really argue with the 2-2 scoreline as there is everything to play for now at the Emirates.
