Ludogorets raced off to a lead in the first 15 minutes

Georgi Dermendzheiv must have been left fuming in the manner they conceded the winner. Their midfield was dispossessed way too easily in the dying moments and a simple ball played over the Ludogorets defence by Arsenal was punished ruthlessly.

However, Ludogorets can take heart from their display. They had 4 shots on target and were able to convert two of them. And, in spite of their wayward running at times, they still managed 42% possession in the game.

Ludogorets currently are tied for first place in their domestic league and have a game in hand. They welcome CSKA Sofia this weekend and will hope to avoid a repeat of the result on Tuesday night. Their remaining two fixtures in the Champions League against PSG and Basel, still affords them the opportunity to continue their campaign in Europe via the Europa League.

Hopefully, the Bulgarian side will be able to take this chance.
