Mukiibi’s Ostersunds FK condemns Arsenal in UEFA Europa League

The visitors scored two quick goals in  the first 70 seconds as the game kicked off to send a half-empty terraces into panic.

A Calum Chambers deflected Hosam Aiesh for the own goal and a neat finish from Ken Sema had Graham Potter’s side two goals up at half-time – and the hosts were jeered off by a restless, if reduced, crowd.

Sead Kolasinac thumped home a response early in the second half to mark his first start since New Year’s Eve with a vital goal.

Kolasinac controlled and quickly thrashed home with his right after Mukiibi fluffed his lines trying to clear Hector Bellerin’s cross.

Arsenal progressed 4-2 on aggregate having won 3-0 at the Jamtkraft Arena in the first leg of this round of 32 Europa League last Thursday under freezing conditions (played in -4C temperatures on a 4G plastic pitch).

Nacho Monreal, Sotirios Papagiannopoulos and Mesut Ozil scored during the victory for Arsenal on the road in Sweden.

Late last year, Östersund condemned Zorya to a 2-0 loss at Arena L’viv in Ukraine to become to attain their first win in a European competition.

Saman Ghoddos and Alhaji Gero’s goals inspired the club to become the first Swedish side to win a UEFA game in Ukraine.
