Iwobi scored Arsenal’s opening goal in the third minute of the encounter. It was his first Europa League goal for the Gunners.

Benjamin Bourigeaud however  levelled scores  for the French side moment after Sokratis Papastathopoulos was sent off for a second booking.

Nacho Monreal’s own goal and Ismaila Sarr’s 88th-minute brilliant effort handed the French side the victory at Roazhon Park.
