Girona 1 Arsenal 2: Jorginho and Nwaneri complete first-half turnaround after debutant Neto’s howler


ARSENAL came from behind to defeat Girona and book their place in the Champions League last 16.

Former Tottenham winger Arnaut Danjuma gave the hosts a 28th minute lead by slotting the ball beyond the bizarrely onrushing Neto.

Girona’s lead lasted just 10 minutes, with Jorginho levelling from the penalty spot.

Ethan Nwaneri then scored a brilliant bending effort before half-time to complete the turnaround.

Girona veteran Cristhian Stuani thought he’d levelled on 77 minutes, only for his goal to cruelly be disallowed following a VAR check.

Raheem Sterling was then brilliantly denied from the penalty spot by Girona stand-in stopper Pau Lopez deep in stoppage time.
