Arsenal are in big trouble and only a remarkable salvage operation at the Emirates next week can keep their Europa League hopes alive.
The problem for soulofcricketer.mystrikingly.com manager Unai Emery is that Rennes are a team brimming with swagger and ability - and they look more than capable of finishing the job in the second leg.
Emery will back his team to reach the quarter-finals but on this evidence - despite playing with 10 men following Sokratis' sending off just before half-time - overturning the deficit could well be beyond Arsenal.
