The Frenchman caught the BATE player with his elbow

It came just moments after the 27-year-old thought he had found an equaliser, only to see the linesman’s flag raised for offside.Aleksandar Filipovic pulled Lacazette back as the striker turned, and taking issue with the close attention, he flung his elbow towards the BATE player’s face.He becomes the first Arsenal player to be sent off in European competition since Laurent Koscielny against Bayern Munich in the Champions League two years ago.Lacazette will almost certainly miss the second leg at the Emirates on February 21 as the Gunners try to turn the tie on its head without the benefit of an away goal.3

Arsenal were frustrated in Belarus

Stanislaw Dragun was the hero for the Belarusian champions on the night, heading home on the stroke of half-time to seal a memorable victory for his side.The Gunners dominated possession for the entirety of the game, as you might expect, but failed to create much on the boggy BATE pitch.With his side currently sitting outside the Premier League top four, the Europa League could be Unai Emery’s best shot at Champions League qualification this season.
