ARSENAL fans were cursing their luck after seeing summer transfer target Dominik Szoboszlai score an absolute stunner for RB Salzburg.
The 19-year-old sensation snubbed a big-money move to North London so he could play Champions League football for the Austrian side.

And he proved it was a wise decision with this rocket against Lokomotiv Moscow.
Eder had put the away side in front just nine minutes in before Szoboszlai equalised in dramatic fashion.
The Hungarian took possession just outside the box after a short corner and put his foot through it a minute before half-time.
The ball took off like a missile and dipped just in time to clatter in off the underside of the bar.
Twitter was soon ablaze with rival fans begging their club to sign the £26million-rated star, who played all 90 minutes of the 2-2 draw.
One of those was an Arsenal supporter, who tweeted: “@Arsenal sign him up plz.”
But they were joined by Liverpool, Wolves and AC Milan fans in demanding the midfielder at their club.
As the Gunners found out, though, you better be able to offer top-tier European football if you want Szoboszlai.
Mikel Arteta’s FA Cup winners, who finished eighth in the Premier League, are restricted to the Europa League this season.
They had long been trailing, Szoboszlai, who inspired Salzburg to back-to-back Austrian league and cup doubles.
But explaining his desire to stay put, he said: “I have spoken with my family and my agent, and decided to stay with Salzburg.
“I would like to make this journey with the Champions League once again.”
