The pressure intensified that proved to be the final straw for the Arsenal hierarchy, who were thought to have given Emery three games to save his job, and they acted quickly on Friday morning by sacking the Spaniard.

Fans voted with their feet on Thursday, with just 49,419 tickets sold for the Europa League game but far less than that actually at the Emirates, and the fans showing their opinion looks to have forced Arsenal's hand.

Emery arrived at Arsenal in March 2018 to replace Arsene Wenger, but despite making the Europa League final he was unable to get the team back into the Champions League in his first season in charge.
