Arsenal draw AC Milan in the Europa League last 16 draw

Arsenal have been drawn against Italian giants AC Milan in the Europa League last-16 draw after beating Ostersunds FK 4-2 on aggregate on Thursday night.

Arsene Wenger's side were stunned, losing 2-1 to the Swedish outfit at the Emirates but were comfortable following their 3-0 away win in the first leg.

Their reward is a clash against the Serie A side, who beat Ludogorets 4-0 over the two legs in the Round of 32.

It will be the pair's first meeting since the thrilling Champions League Round of 16 two-legged tie in 2012 which saw Milan win the first leg at the San Siro 4-0.

However, in a memorable second leg, Arsenal found themselves 3-0 up by half-time only to be unable to add the vital fourth goal that would have taken the tie into extra time.

Like that tie six years ago, Arsenal will travel to Italy for the first leg – to take place on 8^th March – before the return leg the following week at the Emirates.
