Here are your Arsenal evening headlines for Friday, March 12, 2021.
What Ceballos did after Elneny goal
Mikel Arteta almost watched his side become the masters of their own downfall once again on Thursday night.
Leading 1-0 and with their Greek hosts having offered little, Bernd Leno's hospital pass to Dani Ceballos allowed Youssef El-Arabi to bring Olympiacos back into the game.
It's the second time in as many matches that such an error has occurred and it has led many to question whether playing out from the back is really something Arsenal have the ability to do.
Ceballos - who clearly felt the weight of the error after his mistake against Benfica in the last round - celebrated wildly on his own after Mohamed Elneny's third before showing a burst of relief and smacking the hand of Emile Smith Rowe as he ran past jubilantly to join the rest of team in mobbing the Egyptian.

New kit 'leak'
Details have emerged of the third kit that Arsenal could wear next season.
The Gunners' current third strip features a deep blue shirt with pink accents. It is "inspired by dark blue skies on European away evenings", according to the designers, and includes "coral detail in the form of the club badge, adidas logo and sponsor name."
The shorts and socks are also in blue, albeit without the pattern on the shirt. The kit is made with "recycled polyester to save resources and decrease emissions".
And according to footyheadlines, next season's third shirt will remain blue and will have a look inspired by the 1990s.
The north London outfit signed a £300million deal with Adidas in July 2019 with the German manufacturers to produce the Gunners' kits for the next three years.
If this 'leak' turns out to be accurate then this will be the third kit that any new signing could wear next season.
Ralf Rangnick offered role
Schalke have offered Ralf Rangnick a five-year-contract to serve as the club's sporting director, according to reports in Germany, as per Bulinews.
It is claimed that Rangnick has received a generous offer to assume the reins at Schalke for what could be the final project of a long and storied sporting career.
Should Rangnick accept the offer, it could affect Arsenal ahead of the summer transfer window.
As reported by football.london, the Gunners are covering a portion of Sead Kolasinac's salary whilst he is on loan due to the financial struggles Schalke are currently enduring.
The German side have recently confirmed they want to sign Kolasinac on a permanent transfer but a deal will be dependent on whether they survive relegation.
But could Rangnick's potential appointment alter those plans?
