Arsenal sealed their place in the Europa League round of 32 with an unconvincing goalless draw with Red Star Belgrade at the Emirates
The Gunners failed to replicate their victory over Red Star a fortnight ago, but a draw, coupled with Cologne's victory over BATE Borisov, secured their passage to the knockout phase
A much-changed Arsenal side controlled possession but conceded the best chances as Richmond Boakye spurned a gilt-edged opportunity in either half to claim a famous Red Star victory
Having been omitted from the latest England squad, Jack Wilshere nearly gave Gareth Southgate food for thought with the winner, but Damien Le Tallec's superb goalline clearance ensured the spoils were shared
Having acrobatically clinched victory in Belgrade two weeks prior, Olivier Giroud nearly continued from where he had left off inside 10 minutes, but, after being found in the area by Ainsley Maitland-Niles, his low drive was straight at Red Star goalkeeper Milan Borjan
As expected, Arsenal dominated the ball but as the half progressed the visitors grew into the game and drew two fine saves from Matt Macey, who turned Slavoljub Srnic's 35th-minute shot behind before tipping Vujadin Savic's header onto the crossbar a minute later
The Gunners were fortunate not go behind before the break as Boakye fired wide after being played through on goal
It took Arsenal until the 65th minute to register another attempt on the Red Star goal as Wilshere stormed into the area, took the ball of Ainsley Maitland-Niles and chipped towards goal, only for Le Tallec to hack the ball to safety
Arsene Wenger turned to 18-year-old Carabao Cup hero Eddie Nketiah for a breakthrough but the chances fell to Theo Walcott, who fluffed his lines on two occasions
With Arsenal pushing for a winner, Boakye spurned another glorious chance to win the game in the 80th minute, but his miss paved the way for Arsenal to stumble into the next round
Defenders ultimately won the day but the performance of Arsenal's young goalkeeper will have given fans something to cheer about on an otherwise subdued evening
 Macey's two stunning first-half saves, especially the first to tip Savic's header onto the bar, proved crucial against a Red Star side who didn't look like conceding
