Arsenal scraped into the last 16 of the Europa League despite a 2-1 second-leg defeat by Ostersunds, but Thursday's action was marred by violent clashes at the match between between Athletic Bilbao and Spartak Moscow which left a police officer dead.

The north London giants move into Friday's last-16 draw, but Ostersunds will take all the plaudits for a brave display full of quality.
