First-half goals from Aaron Ramsey and Lucas Torreira have given us the advantage heading into the second leg of this Europa League quarter-final.
We came roaring out of the blocks, with Ramsey and Ainsley Maitland-Niles soon seeing shots blocked on after the other on the edge of the box.
But with the Emirates crowd responding vociferously to the attacking intensity we were showing, we continued to knock at the door – and soon we had the lead our start deserved.
The goal itself was a thing of beauty, a sweeping move involving Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Alex Lacazette before Maitland-Niles teed up the former to sweep the ball into the bottom corner.
