Arsenal through after draw against Red Star

London: Arsenal reached the Europa League last 32 on Thursday a drab 0-0 draw with Red Star Belgrade at the Emirates.

Jack Wilshere, overlooked by England manager Gareth Southgate earlier in the day, had the best chance but saw a second-half effort cleared off the line in the Group H match as Arsene Wenger’s side made sure of qualifying for the knockout round with two games to spare.

The result allowed the Gunners to stretch their unbeaten home run in all competitions to 16 games.

"If you can't win the game, don't lose it. We're not delighted with the point, but we'll take it," said Wilshere.

Vitaliy Buyalskiy fired Dynamo Kiev into the knockout phase after the Ukrainian side secured a 1-0 victory over Group B rivals Young Boys in Switzerland.

Meanwhile, Lazio downed Nice 1-0 in Group K to remain the only team with a 100 percent record, moving into the last 32 as a result.

Zenit Saint Petersburg and FCSB of Romania are also into the knockout round.
