Arsenal’s arch nemesis Diego Costa inflicted yet more pain on the club as it was his goal that saw the Gunners crash out of the Europa League.
The former Chelsea man’s strike just before half-time helped Atletico Madrid secure a 1-0 win at home to Arsene Wenger’s men, ensuring a 2-1 aggregate scoreline.
The Gunners can consider themselves unlucky to have lost their semi-final tie against Atletico as they controlled the first leg at the Emirates and gave their opponents plenty to think about at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Things went disastrously wrong in the game’s early stages when Laurent Koscielny pulled up with what has turned out to be a torn Achilles.
