A 3-2 home defeat was Arsenal’s second straight loss in the group stage, with two matches against German champions Bayern Munich to come next.

“If you have watched the game and you come down to the conclusion that we lost the game because of Ospina, I question your knowledge of football”.

STAND-IN goalkeeper David Ospina had a night to forget as Arsenal slumped to a 3-2 home defeat against Olympiakos to leave their Champions League hopes in jeopardy.

Sanchez headed in an equaliser in the 65th minute but Alfred Finnbogason poked the visitors ahead once again just 59 seconds later.

Ian Wright labelled Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger’s decision to select David Ospina “a big mistake” after the Gunners slumped to a 3-2 defeat against Olympiacos in the Champions League.

“It puts us in a bad position but we are still in it”, he added.

Alexis Sanchez was on hand to equalise once more, but Alfred Finnbogason bagged a victor merely a minute later.

They managed to do so, when Alexis Sanchez met Walcott’s cross with a firm header on 65 minutes, but Olympiacos went up the other end and retook the lead a minute later.

Arsene Wenger was forced to confess that new signing Petr Cech did not have a “convincing” game after the goalkeeper was at fault for both of West Ham’s goals.
