Легенда Арсенала критикует француза за поражение.

The Gunners fell to a shock 3-2 defeat to Olympiacos in the Champions League on Tuesday and the club legend has criticised the Frenchman in the wake of the loss

Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has hit out at Arsene Wenger in the wake of the club's 3-2 Champions League defeat against Olympiacos at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.

Wenger opted to start David Ospina over regular first-choice goalkeeper Petr Cech against the Greek outfit, but the decision backfired as the Gunners fell to their second loss of this season's European campaign.

Ospina was at fault for Olympiacos's second goal of the evening, as he dropped the ball over his own line, but club legend Wright has laid the blame for the defeat at Wenger's feet.

"I was worried about Ospina at the start because I believe the two centre-backs aren't confident enough as it is," Wright told BT Sport.

"There's not enough aerial supremacy in there and the goalkeeper seemed to me like he was trying to second-guess something. For somebody who's not playing often - and this is a must-win game - how can you put Ospina in goal?

"You've got to question the manager there. I think that's a big mistake.

"Why not start with Petr Cech simply because of the experience he's got? Because we had to win this game, Arsenal had to win this game.

"Normally we're out by the quarter-final, last 16, this time we've got a massive hill to climb to go that far."

Arsenal sit bottom of Group F following Tuesday's results with no points from two games, and now face a double-header against Bayern Munich, who have taken six points from their two fixtures thus far.

Arsenal 2-3 Olympiacos: Ospina blunder helps visitors to surprise win

The Gunners goalkeeper knocked the ball over his own line to restore the visitors' lead as Arsene Wenger's men lost a second Champions League game in a row

Substitute Alfred Finnbogason was the match-winner for Olympiacos as his strike condemned Arsenal to a 3-2 defeat at the Emirates Stadium in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Arsene Wenger's side remain pointless in Group F as they had nothing to show for their efforts despite twice equalising as suspect defending and a calamitous David Ospina error helped ensure Olympiacos their first win on English soil.

Theo Walcott was picked to replace the suspended Olivier Giroud and the England international looked to have ensured Arsenal parity at the break, having cancelled out Felipe Pardo's 33rd-minute opener.

However, Ospina inexplicably dropped Kostas Fortounis' corner behind the line five minutes before half-time - the goalkeeper having been selected ahead of regular number one Petr Cech.

Walcott turned provider for Alexis Sanchez to equalise for a second time shortly after the hour but Arsenal were again caught flat-footed as the visitors broke from kick-off, with Finnbogason making his impact off the bench with a well-taken finish from close range.

It leaves Arsenal with an uphill battle already, while the severity of the injury that forced Laurent Koscielny off could add further frustration for Wenger - who will face difficult questions on his goalkeeping selection

Arsenal began the brighter and showed pace on the counter when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain found the side-netting inside the penalty area after nine minutes.

The forward was one of five to come in for the hosts alongside Ospina and the Arsenal goalkeeper was called on soon after to collect a dangerous delivery from Fortounis that almost looped in.

Fortounis dragged a shot wide after 21 minutes as Olympiacos grew into the game before taking the lead.

The unmarked Pardo collected a corner and guided his shot on target, with a deflection off Oxlade-Chamberlain deceiving a helpless Ospina en route to the far corner.

Walcott levelled within three minutes, latching onto Sanchez's pass and finishing past Roberto Jimenez, who made contact with the effort but failed to keep it out. The Olympiacos goalkeeper should perhaps have done better but Ospina's howler proved the final talking point of an entertaining half.

The Colombian was caught out by an inswinging Fortounis delivery and, having recovered to collect the ball, spilled it behind the line as the goal-line official eventually gave the goal amid protests from the home side.

The hosts' difficulties continued after the break when Koscielny limped off with an apparent hamstring problem following a slide tackle on Pardo before the hour mark.

Following Aaron Ramsey's introduction, Arsenal came close to levelling again, as Mertesacker's effort was saved by Jimenez before Santi Cazorla's follow-up was blocked on the line as the hosts eventually gained reward for their pressure.

Sanchez appeared to have lifted the sullen atmosphere at the Emirates when he glanced home Walcott's cross but slack play once again saw Arsenal slip behind, as Esteban Cambiasso found Pardo, who crossed for Finnbogason to finish.

Despite late pressure from their side, home fans saw Arsenal slip bottom of the group ahead of a clash with Bayern Munich while Marco Silva's men claimed an away win in the Champions League for the first time in two years.

  That's all from me, Matthew Judge, and it has been a great pleasure talking you through all of tonight's action in North London. We hope you can join us again very soon. Take care!
•  

   

  More poor errors at the back cost Arsenal at the highest level but it's elation for Olympiacos, who bounce back from their loss to Bayern Munich in the last round of fixtures by picking up a huge three points. Dinamo Zagreb await for them next, while the Gunners play hosts to Pep Guardiola's men next month.
•  

   

  Boos sound around at the Emirates as Arsenal open up their Group F account with back-to-back defeats against Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiacos. It's the first time in 13 attempts that the Greek side, who defended so well tonight, win on English soil.

• 90' + 1'

   

  Walcott moves into a good bit of space deep into Olympiacos' half and drives a shot towards goal, but Siovas prevents it from reaching Roberto with a sliding challenge. It's excellent defending yet again from him.
• 90'

   

  The fourth official indicates that a minimum of four minutes are being added on to the second half as Arsenal try to punt the ball forward as fast as possible. It's nail-biting times for Olympiacos fans.

• 86'

   

  SubstitutionHéctor Bellerín J. Campbell
  Wenger makes his final change for Arsenal with only a few minutes remaining as Bellerin heads off the pitch for Campbell. The Costa Rica international enters the pitch against the club he spent the 2013/14 campaign with.

  Sanchez wins a free-kick for Arsenal as they pile everybody forward with minutes to go. Cazorla is standing over it as the Olympiacos backline sit so deep towards their goalkeeper, Roberto.

• 70'

   

  Finnbogason brings down Sanchez and hands Arsenal a free-kick. Cazorla steps up for the Gunners but his clipped effort towards Walcott has slightly too much weight on it and goes beyond the striker and into the arms of Roberto.
• 68'

   

  You almost can't believe what you're seeing here at the Emirates. Arsenal finally appear to make the breakthough after pushing and pushing thanks to Sanchez, but Olympiacos go straight up the other end and send the away stand into rapture once more. What a game this is.

• 64'

   

  Yellow CardRoberto
  Roberto becomes the first Olympiacos man to get his name taken by the referee as we just pass the hour mark at the Emirates. The Spaniard picks up a caution for constant timewasting.
• 63'

   

  Cazorla collects the ball just outside the Olympiacos box and drives a shot low and hard towards Roberto, who gets down well to it and parries out wide. Arsenal are starting to turn the screw here since Ramsey came on.
• 62'

   

  Walcott skips past five Olympiacos defenders deep into the Greek side's half but he fails to sort his feet out at the crucial moment as the ball trickles out for a goal-kick with Botia sliding in at the final moment. That was a wonderful run from the Arsenal man.
• 60'

   

  SubstitutionFrancis Coquelin Aaron Ramsey
  Wenger makes his second change of the game as he takes off Coquelin, with the Gunners chasing a one-goal deficit in need of some more firepower. Ramsey comes off to replace him.
• 60'

   

  OFF THE LINE! Mertesacker finds himself inside the penalty area and he forces a great save from Roberto, before Cazorla's rebound effort gets cleared off the line by Elabdellaoui. Inspired defending from Olympiacos.
• 58'

   

  Seba latches onto the ball deep into Arsenal's half but he fails to pick out Finnbogason as Gabriel cleans up for the Gunners and gets them back on the front foot. Ramsey looks set to come on now for the hosts.
• 57'

   

  SubstitutionLaurent Koscielny Per Mertesacker
  Koscielny falls to the floor in a heap and requests to come off just shy of the hour mark. It looks as though he's pulled his hamstring and Mertesacker is coming on to replace him alongside Gabriel.
• 56'

   

  There's a stoppage in play at the moment as Koscielny falls to the floor and requests medical treatment. It looks as though he can't carry on with Mertesacker stripped and ready to come on as his replacement.

  Bellerin plays a lovely one-two with Walcott and wins a corner off Siovas but Sanchez's corner hangs too far towards the back stick and allows Kasami to head away the danger for Olympiacos.
• 52'

   

  Pardo receives the ball from Fortounis on the counter-attack but the attack breaks down under him as his curled pass towards Finnbogason was loose and allows Gabriel to step in for Arsenal. A good chance to breakaway goes begging for the visitors.
• 50'

   

  Cambiasso sprays a long ball forward towards Elabdellaoui and the Olympiacos right-back tries to get the ball under control to send in a cross towards Finnbogason but Gibbs snuffs out the danger for Arsenal. Top defending from him.
• 48'

   

  Salido tries to maraud forward from left-back but he loses possession to Oxlade-Chamberlain. As the Arsenal man collects and tries to run forward, the referee penalises the challenge and awards Olympiacos a free-kick, to the disgust of the home crowd.
• 46'

   

  SubstitutionBrown Ideye Alfred Finnbogason
  Silva rolls the dice for the first time as he replaces Ideye during the half-time interval. On-loan striker Finnbogason runs onto the pitch as his replacement for the second half.
• 46'

   

  Welcome back! Olympiacos get us back underway here at the Emirates Stadium, with Alfred Finnbogason coming on for the second half in place of Brown Ideye.
•  

   

  All three goals, in truth, were poorly given away in the first half. Pardo scored a well-worked corner routine for the opener but Arsenal were sloppy at the back in the build up and really shouldn't have conceded the corner in the first place. Walcott's equaliser should have been dealt with by Roberto before Ospina fumbled Fortounis' corner over his line. Unbelievable stuff.
•  

   

  Both sets of players head off the field and down the tunnel as the referee draws time on the first half. Olympiacos lead at the break after a bizarre goal conceded by David Ospina towards the end of the opening period has the Greek outfit ahead.
•  

   

  HALF-TIME: ARSENAL 1-2 OLYMPIACOS
• 45'

   

  Yellow CardGabriel Paulista
  Seba controls the ball but wins a late free-kick for Olympiacos under a challenge from Gabriel. The Arsenal man receives a caution as a result, making it two in a matter of minutes for the Gunners.
• 45'

   

  The fourth official indicates that two minutes are being added on to the first half. Arsenal are on the front foot in the closing stages of the opening 45 minutes but Olympiacos are defending well in a decent shape.
• 44'

   

  Yellow CardAlexis Sánchez
  Sanchez becomes the first man to get his name taken by the Dutch referee tonight. He concedes a silly foul and hands Olympiacos some much-needed breathing time since going back in front.
• 44'

   

  Fresh reports suggest that the goal could be given to Fortounis, who curled in the corner which caused Ospina all sorts of problems between the sticks. It's been smash and grab from Olympiacos but they're heading into the break with a slender lead as things stand.
• 42'

   

  The replay shows that the fifth official, who definitely has the best view from behind the goal, awards the Olympiacos goal and not the referee. It's another soft bit of defending again from the Gunners as Olympiacos lead 2-1.
• 40'

   

   

   

  Own GoalD. Ospina
  GOOOOOOOAAAAALLL!! It's 2-1 and Olympiacos are back in front! Fortounis' corner curls towards Ospina, who somehow drops the ball between the sticks and the fifth official claims all of the ball was over the line. Game on again at the Emirates!
• 39'

   

  Salido tries to slip in Seba down the left-hand side but Gabriel comes across brilliantly and clears for an Olympiacos corner. Arsenal have looked wobbly when defending set plays all night and this is a good chance for the Greek outfit.
• 37'

   

  Two goals in a matter of minutes sees this game kick right into life just before the half-time interval. Both goals could have been defended so much better but we're all level again at the Emirates.

• 31'

   

  CLOSE! Ideye makes the most of both Arsenal centre-backs trying to win the ball from Siovas' punt forward as he rolls it back to Fortounis, who wins a corner as Koscienly diverts his effort over the crossbar.
• 29'

   

  It's sloppy again as Elabdellaoui plays in Pardo down the right-hand side but the Olympiacos man chooses not to take on Gibbs and hit the ball backwards, but his pass flies into the path of the Arsenal full-back and sets up a breakaway for the Gunners.
• 27'

   

  Fortounis collects from a throw-in down the right flank and tries to engineer a bit of space to hurl in a cross towards Ideye, but Coquelin tracks him all the way and nicks the ball off the Olympiacos man for an Arsenal goal-kick.
• 25'

   

  Seba's cross towards the Arsenal penalty area gets blocked by Oxlade-Chamberlain and Siovas tries to play in Ideye down the left-hand side from the spillage, but he stabs his pass past his team-mate and the ball trickles out for goal-kick to the hosts.

  Fortounis picks up the ball inside Arsenal's half and drives forward but as he opens up his body to try and test Ospina, he sends his effort well wide of the Colombian and past the post from long range.
• 21'

   

  Kasami drops into the Olympiacos backline and clears away a cross to set up a counter-attack for the visitors. Fortounis breaks forward and feeds in Seba, but Bellerin reads the danger excellently in a one-v-one situation and gets Arsenal back in possession with a good challenge.
• 19'

   

  The noise level from the away stand raises as the travelling Olympiacos supporters continue to make their voices heard in North London. Silva's men have done well to silence the home crowd at the moment but they're yet to threaten Arsenal's backline from open play so far.
• 17'

   

  Ozil collects the ball deep into Olympiacos' half and just outside the Greek side's goal but as he tries to slip in Walcott, Botia steps out of defence and nips the Arsenal attack in the bud. Solid defending again from him.
• 15'

   

  After a quarter of an hour here at the Emirates, Arsenal are still looking the brighter of the two sides but Roberto is yet to be forced into making a save between the Olympiacos sticks. Sanchez has been electric so far.
• 13'

   

  Pardo tries to move into a good bit of space inside Arsenal's half but as he shifts the ball from right to left, Gibbs brings him down for an Olympiacos free-kick.
• 11'

   

  CLOSE! Fortounis whips in a cracking ball towards the Arsenal box which Ideye nods into the arms of Ospina from close range. Sanchez surges forward on the counter-attack for the Gunners and slips in Walcott, who fails to generate enough power as he shoots straight at Roberto.
• 10'

   

  WIDE! As Oxlade-Chamberlain clears Fortounis' corner, he ends up latching onto the end of Sanchez's through ball seconds later but he sends his shot straight into the side netting from close range. Excellent tracking back from Salido to put the pressure on.

  Koscielny takes advantage of Ideye's heavy touch and clears for an Olympiacos corner. Fortounis steps up for the visitors but Oxlade-Chamberlain clears inside the six-yard box for the Gunners.

  Arsenal are having the lion's share of the ball at the moment as we approach the 10-minute mark but Olympiacos are falling back into a good, compact shape and that's giving the Gunners plenty to think about in these early stages.

  Pardo slips in Elabdellaoui powering forward from right back and the Olympiacos man clips in a decent cross towards the middle of the penalty area, but Koscielny leaps well and clears the danger at the near post for Arsenal.
