'I don't even know, I feel very bad' - Aubameyang on missing last-second chance

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could not hide his disappointment after going from hero to zero in the space of a few minutes as Arsenal dramatically crashed out of the Europa League to Olympiacos.

The Gunners' talisman scored a sublime acrobatic effort in extra-time to put his side on the brink of progression, only for Arsenal to then concede and Aubameyang miss a gilt-edged chance with only the goalkeeper to beat.

After a deep cross from the right bounced off the back of an unsuspecting defender, Aubameyang was presented with the ball dropping to his feet, a mere six-yards out from goal. Reacting quickly he shaped to shoot for the bottom corner, only to put the ball around the wrong side of the post.

At the final whistle Aubameyang looked visibly emotional, before admitting to broadcasters BT Sport he was finding it all rather difficult to handle.

'[I am] Very very disappointed. What can I say. It’s very hard, very tough,' said Aubameyang.

'I think we missed putting some pace in the game, that cost us today. The last minute goal was unlucky for us.'

Aubameyang, who finished as joint top scorer in the Premier League in his debut season, is regarded as one of the world's best finishers and already has 19 goals to his name this campaign.

Trying to summarise the split-second moment, Aubameyang frankly admitted he could not comprehend how he was unable to take the chance.

'I don’t even know, I feel very very bad. But that can happen. I don’t know how I missed this chance. I was tired, I had some cramps but I had to score that goal,' he added.

'It was tough because they played very deep, it was hard to find the solutions in the final third. It was a really tough game and tough to find some space.

'We try to keep improving in the league and win as many games as possible and we’ll see what our chance to qualify is.'
