Arsenal entered the semifinals of the Europa League after a 3-0 aggregate win over Napoli. Let’s take a look at some of the best Twitter reactions for the game.
Alexandre Lacazette’s goal in the 34th minute of the game proved to be the sole difference between the two sides.
Arsenal defeated Napoli to enter the semifinals of the Europa League. The Gunners won the first leg 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium.
Napoli dominated most of the possession in the second leg but failed to create decent goalscoring opportunities. Arsenal, on the other hand, kept playing the waiting game as they saw out the game without considerable threats to the defence.
With this win, Arsenal took another big step towards achieving Champions League qualification for the next season. The side is currently fourth in the Premier League table but faces stiff competition from Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United for the top-4 position.
Unai Emery has been an experienced campaigner in the Europa League and would be hopeful of a successful run in the competition.
Let’s take a look at some Twitter reactions from the game.

That’s a proper two-legged masterclass from Emery and Arsenal, against the second-best team in Italy and a manager as experienced as Ancelotti. Precise in attack, composed at the back. Koscielny magnificent again.

FT: Napoli 0 Arsenal 1 – First time since January 2017 that #AFC have managed to keep consecutive away clean sheets across all competitions (4-0 at Swansea, 5-0 at Southampton) – bit of a corner turned for Emery and his players this week?
