Some English tabloids and websites were at the Emirates to cast their eyes on the performances of the Gunners and had these to say about Iwobi.

For Daily Express, Iwobi deserved a 7 despite being lucky not to have been sent off for kicking Rennes' Hamari Traoure.

Arsenal will be in the pots for Friday's quarterfinals draw with Chelsea the other English side who also qualified for the last eight with a 5-0 win (8-0 on aggregate) over Dynamo Kyiv.
