The sole reason for Arsenal's incredible home winning streak is the atmosphere at the Emirates. Despite being a Europa League fixture, the stadium had zero empty seats and the crowd rose to the occasion in style.

The banners and the chants were yet again unreal, and the crowd extracted every ounce of ability from the players, inspiring them to give it all till the final whistle. The fan-favorite, Mesut Ozil, is often criticized for his below-par performances away from home, but when it comes to playing at the Emirates, the manager, as well as the fans, can always rely on the German playmaker to pull off wonders with his feet.

The Gooners were thrilled to bits as their side go into the return leg with a 2-goal lead on their shoulders and considering their away form, Arsenal need not win the second leg to qualify. An away goal would certainly be a game changer, but even if they do not score, they should try their best not to concede, and if they don't concede, they are through.
