Arsenal crashed out of the Europa League as Youssef El-Arabi's late strike in extra-time secured a stunning 2-1 victory for Olympiacos, who progressed to the last 16 courtesy of the away goals rule.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who remarkably missed a golden chance in the final seconds after El Arabi's winner, had seemed to settle the contest in Arsenal's favour with seven minutes of extra-time remaining with a stunning acrobatic effort.
But Olympiacos, who cancelled out Arsenal's 1-0 lead from the first leg thanks to Pape Abou Cisse's header in the second half, chose to write their own script as El-Arabi bundled in Giorgos Masouras' cross at the Emirates Stadium.
Yet the drama was not finished there – Aubameyang somehow slicing wide of a gaping goal from point-blank range as Olympiacos held onto a famous triumph in a last-16 tie that finished 2-2 on aggregate.
Match Events
36' So close from Camara!
WASTED! Bellerin is caught out of position and a neat exchange of passes releases Camara through on goal. However, with Luiz recovering ground and Leno closing the angle, the midfielder loses his nerve at the vital moment and drills wide of the target.
39' OFFSIDE! Lacazette scores but goal is disallowed
OFFSIDE! IT WON'T COUNT! Lacazette arrives late to turn home Saka's inviting low cross into the six-yard area. However, the offside flag had already been raised after the full-back began his run a fraction too early.
53' GOAL! Arsenal 0-1 Olympiakos (Cisse)
CISSE!!! 1-0 OLYMPIACOS! And the tie is all square! The centre-half levels up the contest on aggregate as he ghosts in to head home from Valbuena's corner.
57' Excellent save from Leno!
GREAT SAVE! Olympiacos have their tails up and go in search of the goal that turns the tie on its head. Tsimikas cut inside from the left before looking for the top corner with a bending effort that required a strong palm from Leno to tip it away.
76' WHAT A CHANCE missed by Lacazette!
GREAT SAVE! Sa to the rescue as he reacts brilliantly to deny Pepe's curling effort. Seconds later, Lacazette is unable to react quickly enough to turn the ball home.
99' Cisse's handball overlooked by ref
Arsenal appeal for a penalty after Aubameyang's strike appears to strike the arm of Cisse, but the referee is not interested. Although, replays show that the ball came off the shoulder of the Olympiacos defender.
108' OFF THE BAR! Masouras almost scores
OFF THE BAR! A coat of paint denies Olympiacos! Masouras looks for the top corner with a bending effort that beats Leno, but crashes against the top of the crossbar.
113' GOAL! Arsenal 1-1 Olympiakos (Aubameyang)
AUBAMEYANG!!!!! WHAT A GOAL! ARSENAL LEAD! Ozil's cross is helped on by Martinelli and deflects high into the air, before Aubameyang unleashes a stunning scissor kick that flies past Sa and could well decide this tie.
119' GOAL! Arsenal 1-2 Olympiakos (El-Arabi)
EL-ARABI!!! GOAL FOR OLYMPIACOS! They have surely snatched victory! After Leno concedes a cheap corner, El-Arabi arrives late to turn home Masouras' deep cross to send the travelling support into ecstasy.
120' CHANCE! Aubameyang wastes a golden opportunity
HOW DID HE MISS?! Aubameyang has put it wide from inside the six-yard box! A hopeful ball into the box ricochets kindly for the skipper, who can only shoot off-target with the goal at his mercy. What a chance!
