TheSportsRush brings Sporting Lisbon vs Arsenal highlights, as Arsenal cruised to their 11th consecutive win of the season.
Arsenal registered their 11th consecutive win across all competitions as they secured another three points in the Europa League today. The Gunners defeated Sporting Lisbon 1-0 in the European competition.
With this win, Arsenal also ended their dismal run in UEFA tournaments in Portugal. Before this game, the Gunners were yet to secure a victory in the country.
Danny Welbeck scored the only goal for Arsenal in the 77th minute of the game.
Earlier, Aaron Ramsey returned to the side as he was named the captained of the team. Matteo Guendouzi was impressive for Arsenal, but the match was relatively dull.
Arsenal will now return to Premier League as they face an away trip to Crystal Palace on Sunday. Here are some of the best Twitter reactions from the game:
Arsenal make it 11 wins on the bounce.
Emery impressively making a difference very early on for us. Plus a clean sheet and a win in Portugal (where we never won before in six attempts)— P™ (@Cechque) October 25, 2018
Arsenal make it 11 wins on the bounce. Emery impressively making a difference very quickly.

Danny Welbeck is Arsenal’s first ever goalscorer in an away game vs. Portuguese opposition whose surname isn’t Campbell.

For the best part of 10-15 years Arsenal were crying out for a massive central defensive midfielder when all they really needed was a 5’6 Uruguayan. How wrong we all were. #Torreira 🇺🇾

Welbeck deserves a new contract. Excellent squad player. Always has been.

Brilliant goal we’ve got the flicks on lock! Welbeck has more goals this season than Alexis has had since he moved to Manchester United 😂 pic.twitter.com/y7jUsteTIw

Arsenal becomes the 2nd team to beat Sporting Portugal at home in the last 36 games.
11 wins on the spin but Unai Emery never won away games with Sevilla.
Jog on.

Good of the referee to observe the law that a Welbeck goal doesn’t count unless he falls over as he scores it.

Arsenal make it 11 wins in a row courtesy of Welbeck’s goal. Not the most impressive attacking performance, but they looked quite solid defensively and again dominated the second half. But first time in 12 games they didn’t score at least two goals.
