Video: Arsenal loanees Nelson & Guendouzi share a moment after Conference League clash


 

Footage which will no doubt bring a collective smile to the faces of the Arsenal faithful has come to the fore online over the last 24 hours.

The video in question stems from the aftermath of the Europa Conference League meeting between Olympique Marseille and Feyenoord on Thursday night.

A 0-0 stalemate between the two sides ultimately culminated in Dutch giants Feyenoord marching on to the competition's finale, on the back of a pulsating 3-2 first-leg triumph in Rotterdam.

Key to De club aan de Maas' win in France was youngster Reiss Nelson, who bagged an assist amid a fine recent spell of form late in his loan spell from the aforementioned Arsenal.

And Nelson, in turn, was congratulated for booking his spot in the first-ever Conference League showpiece by another Gunners loanee late last night.

As showcased in the footage below, on the back of the full-time whistle in Marseille, Nelson was met by Matteo Guendouzi, as the pair came together to share a moment which has since gone viral amongst the Arsenal fanbase:

Abraham the difference

Feyenoord's reward for getting the better of Marseille over two legs comes in the form of an upcoming finale showdown with Serie A outfit AS Roma.

Jose Mourinho's men were too back in action on Thursday, building on a 1-1 stalemate in England to eventually send Leicester City packing from the competition.

A solitary goal proved all that was required to decide things at the Stadio Olimpico, as Tammy Abraham rose highest from a corner to nod home his 25th goal of the campaign, and keep the Giallorossi's hunt for silverware very much alive.
