The EPL leaders welcome Sporting to the Emirates stadium after an entertaining 2-2 draw at Portugal.

The host open the scoring through their Midfield maestro, Xhaka who scored 19th minutes into the game to put his side in front after suffering two huge injury blow in the defense line.

However,Sporting look to be the better team in the second half, and they drew level in a fantastic style when Pedro Gonçalves unleashed an effort from just inside Arsenal’s half which looped over Ramsdale to make it 1-1.
The equalizer sees the game off to a 3-3 aggregate stalemate and on to a penalty shootout after the extra-time.

But this time,Sporting CP had a hero, Nuno Santos emerged to give his side a 5-4 victory,after Gabriel Martinelli fails to convert his effort from the spot kick.
