Two-goal Aubameyang superb as Arsenal thump Rennes

Arsenal produced a superb performance to defeat Rennes and reach the Europa League quarterfinals.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang inspired an Arsenal comeback as they overturned a two-goal deficit from a first-leg defeat at Rennes to progress to the Europa League quarter-finals.

The striker put Arsenal ahead within four minutes, firing in Aaron Ramsey's cut-back, before setting up Ainsley Maitland-Niles before half-time.

He then poked in Sead Kolasinac's low cross after the break to make it 3-0.

Arsenal will be in the draw for the quarter-finals on Friday.

They join fellow English side Chelsea in the last eight after they thrashed Dynamo Kiev 8-0 on aggregate.
