By Can Erozden

ANKARA (AA) - Arsenal secured a top two finish Thursday in Group A of the UEFA Europa League tournament with a 1-0 win against Dutch opponents PSV Eindhoven in London.

Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka's volley in minute 71 sent the Gunners to the Europa League knockout stage.

The match was rescheduled because of the death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II on Sept. 8.

The sides will meet Oct. 27 in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

Group A leaders Arsenal with 12 points won their four matches to clinch a berth in the next stage with two matches to play.

PSV Eindhoven are in the second spot with seven points.
