Arsenal wasted a couple of opportunities in the later stages and the match went into extra time. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang equalized for Arsenal in the second half of extra time and the Gunners looked certain to go through to the next round.
Olympiacos would, however, have the last laugh. Ganit Xhakamisht a backpass to Bernd Leno and the goalkeeper conceded a corner kick from which Youseff Elarabiscoed the winner for the Greeks.
There was still time for Pierre Aubameyang to miss a sitter in the final minute of extra time when a cross found him unmarked in the box.
