Evening all, and welcome to Arsenal v Sporting Clube de Portugal!

So, thanks for your company - enjoy the rest of your night. Ta-ra.

I've seen better games, but Arsenal have what they needed; Qarabag have beaten Vorskla, which takes them into the knockouts. Two more points will probably be enough for Sporting; three certainly will.

Full-time: Arsenal 0-0 Sporting Clube

Dost gets away down the right and puts the ball in behind Sokratis for Cabral, but Cech is out smartly to snaffle.

There'll be 12 minutes of injury-time in Vorskla, due to fireworks on the pitch.

Maitland-Niles finds himself on the ball, deep in the Sporting half, and crosses seeking Aubameyang, but Coates is there to head away.

Qarabag still lead in Vorskla - where they're playing the eighth minute of injury-time - so provided that remains the case, and Sporting don't score, Arsenal are through to the knockouts.

There'll be five additional minutes.

Aubameyang floats the free-kick, from 20 yards out and left of centre, well over the bar.

Bruno Fernandes plays a poor pass in between centre-back and keeper, and Aubameyang screeches onto it ... so Mathieu, the last man, brings him down! It's possible that Coates would've got over to him, but unlikely, so the game has lost its outstanding player.

Stewart Robson notes that this a game in which Giroud would've been handy, and he's probably right, even if I'm not sure who'd be giving him the service he needs.

And another change to guzzle more seconds: Petrovic on for Luis.

Second change for Sporting: Cabral replaces Diaby.

Are Sporting tiring? Kolasinac crosses low and well, into the path of the onrushing Aubameyang, who gets a firm sidefoot on it ... but Coates is alive to the danger and hurls his body into a block. Kolasinac has made a difference since coming on.

Kolasinac rolls into the path of the advancing Iwobi, who collects and shimmies back and forth as Gaspar contemplates a challenge, then forces a square pass hard into the middle; Mkhitaryan gets a poke on it, but Ribeiro is there to collapse upon it.

Guenduozi has been quiet tonight, but he moves forward now and finds Kolasinac, whose cross is headed away by Mathieu; he's been excellent.

Elsewhere, Leipzig equalised against Celtic, but Celtic scored again almost immediately afterwards so now lead 2-1.

Diaby skates forward and cuts in, leathering a shot from 20 yards that Sokratis blocks about half a yard from source.

None of Arsenal's fringe players have advanced their case for big-game selection - at least not so far.

Arsenal have scored in every game since losing to Manchester City on the opening day, but they haven't looked likely tonight. On the touchline, Emery encourages his players to raise it.
