Arsenal’s Europa League ambitions took a huge hit on Thursday

Sokratis, the centre-back, was sent off just before Rennes’ began their comeback so will miss next week’s return leg at the Emirates.Though Arsenal scored an important away goal, their hopes of progressing in the competition stand on the edge of a knife. Unai Emery’s side must score twice without reply to book their place in the quarter-finals, and any away goal for Rennes would deal a further blow to the north Londoners.Supporters were not impressed by their side’s performance on Thursday evening, and a small group of travelling fans made their feelings known when seeing Arsenal’s players at the airport.3A video showed the players being subjected to expletive-laden abuse as they walked through Rennes Bretagne Airport after the match, with individuals saying things such as ‘stay injured forever you c**t’.3One fan demanded the ‘f***ing rubbish’ players ‘come over and face us’.Arsenal have six days to prepare for the return fixture, though their attentions are currently focused on Sunday’s visit of Manchester United to Old Trafford.
