Arsenal captain, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, has blamed fatigue and cramps for his late miss, as they crashed out of the Europa League to Olympiacos on Thursday night.
The Gunners led 1-0 from the first leg, but were forced to go to extra time after Pape Abou Cisse put the Greek side ahead in the 53rd minute at the Emirates Stadium.
Aubameyang equalized with a superb overhead kick, to put his side back in front.
But Youssef El-Arabi netted late on to restore Olympiacos’ lead with a minute remaining.
Aubameyang was handed a clear-cut chance from seven yards out in the closing stages of the match, but he lashed his effort wide of goal.
“Yeah… I don’t even know, I feel very, very bad, yeah that can happen, I don’t know how I missed this chance, I was tired, I had some cramps.
“But its not an excuse, I have to score this goal, but that can happen,” he told BT Sport after the game.
