Arsenal Cologne: Jhon Cordoba scored a stunning Europa League goal at the Emirates
Jhon Cordoba put Cologne in front against Arsenal with a stunning effort from more than 30 yards.
The striker lobbed Ospina, who was running back into his goal, following a poor clearance from the Colombian.
Hartson says Ospina should have kicked it far further than he did.
“It’s not a good clearance from Ospina," he said on BT Sport.
"It’s poor, he’s got to kick that into the opponents half.
Take nothing away from Cordoba’s finish. Brilliant vision, what a goal
John Hartson on Jhon Cordoba's goal vs Arsenal
"But take nothing away from Cordoba’s finish. Brilliant vision, what a goal.
"He (Ospina) never really put his foot through the ball.
"That should be going deep into Cologne’s half.
"Take nothing away from the finish, it was brilliant from the centre-forward."
FC Koln fans sing to taunt Arsenal fans in home end
Cordoba joined Cologne from Mainz in the summer for £17million.
1-0 is how the scoreline stayed until half time in north London.
The game at the Emirates had earlier been delayed by an hour due to crowd trouble outside the ground.
Reports claimed up to 20,000 Cologne fans had made the trip to Arsenal despite only having an allocation of 3000.
