Arsenal 4-1 CSKA Moscow: Alexandre Lacazette and Aaron Ramsey bag first-half braces as Gunners seize control of Europa League quarter-final tie

Aaron Ramsey should have got his second hat-trick of 2018. To be fair, he could have got two hat-tricks on the night. He scored twice, he hit a post, he missed one from ten yards, a couple of other efforts went astray. Thankfully, Arsenal have this tie as good as won as it is. They travel to Moscow next week with the journey the biggest challenge, the long hours on the plane.

The game is close to irrelevant. CSKA Moscow need to win 3-0 to progress and the chance of Arsenal not scoring if required against a creaking defence is minimal.
