His Arsenal side lost 2-0 to Braga in Portugal to leave the Gunners in doubt for a berth in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Arsenal is hoping to reach the knockout phase for the 11th consecutive season, but did its cause no good at all in shipping two late goals to a side it had thumped 6-0 on home turf.
Arsenal's discomfort was music to the ears of Ukraine's Shakhtar Donetsk, which won 3-0 at tailender Partizan Belgrade to cement top spot with one match remaining.
