CSKA Moscow 2-2 Arsenal: How it happened

After surviving some nervy moments in Moscow, we progressed to the semi-finals of the Europa League with two second-half goals.

Danny Welbeck struck an all-important goal with 15 minutes remaining to finally end the Russians' resistance, after they had got themselves within one goal of a shock comeback. Aaron Ramsey then raced away on the break in injury time to level on the night.

Arsène Wenger said in his pre-match press conference that not conceding an early goal was the first priority, and we managed to keep the hosts at bay in an uneventful, scrappy opening 20 minutes.
