Arsenal secured a spot in the knockout rounds of the UEFA Europa League tonight after a 1-0 win over PSV at the Emirates Stadium in a rescheduled fixture.
The match was postponed from its original schedule in September over the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The win, earned through Granit Xhaka’s second half goal, is Arsenal’s fourth in four Group A games and they are five points ahead of PSV in the standings.

At the King Power Stadium, Leicester City beat Leeds United 2-0 to move from bottom spot above Nottingham Forest.
A Robin Koch own goal and Harvey Barnes strike secured the win for Leicester City, who brought on Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho in the final five minutes.
