Could David Ospina's howler contribute to Arsenal's potential Champions League exit?

Arsenal's Champions League future is hanging by a thread after losing 3-2 to Olympiacos last night in the Emirates Stadium. 

The Greek side had lost their previous 12 away games against English opposition before last nights win. Olympiacos now lie in second place in Group F, three points ahead of Arsenal and three behind Bayern Munich. 

Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina replaced the rested Petr Cech in the Arsenal goals and was at fault for the Greek sides second goal which was scored directly from a corner. Ospina was not able to clear a Kostas Fortounis corner and carried the ball over his own line.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was unwilling to criticise his goalkeeper after the game despite the Colombians mistake. “Ospina played 19 games last season and kept 14 clean sheets. Last week at Tottenham, he had a fantastic game. No keeper is mistake-free. It could have happened to Petr Cech as well."
