The Gunners booked their spot in the Europa League final with a 4-2 second leg win against Valencia on Thursday
When Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang crashed home his third goal of the night in the final minute to seal Arsenal's 4-2 win at Mestalla, even the Valencia fans stood and applauded.
These was nothing else they could do. They had done their best all night to knock the Gunners out of their stride, but in the end they had to stand and admire a striking performance as good as you will see in Europe all season.
Arsenal arrived in Spain with their season on the verge of collapse, but thanks to Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette they are now in their first European final for 13 years and just 90 minutes away from a return to the Champions League.
