Arsenal beat Valencia

Gunners in great position

Alexandre Lacazette scored twice as Arsenal came from behind at Emirates Stadium to win the first leg of their Europa League semi-final against Valencia.

Things had looked like panning out very differently with Valencia starting the brighter at the Emirates, and Mouctar Diakhaby headed in from a corner to cement their early dominance (11).

But Alexandre Lacazette single-handedly mounted the Gunners' first-half turnaround, first combining with Aubameyang, who he played through with a wonderful 40-yard slide-rule pass, before receiving a return pass from his strike partner and firing home with Arsenal's first shot of the game.
 
And as the hosts grew in confidence, he then headed in from Granit Xhaka's cross despite Neto's best efforts to keep his effort from crossing the line (26). Aubameyang's late volley ensured Arsenal take a two-goal lead to Spain.
