Arsenal reached the Champions League final for the first time in 20 years and for only the second time in their history, with a gritty 1-0 win at The Emirates on Tuesday night.
The Gunners controlled the game for the most part, it was a very tight first half, but good work from William Saliba, Viktor Gyokeres and Leandro Trossard led to Bukayo Saka poking home the decisive goal of the game.

Man of the match: Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin White. These two edge it for me. Gyokeres was sensational and much improved in his hold-up and brilliant again with his attacking runs – it’s what created the decisive goal. White, who hasn’t been great recently, put in a huge shift to keep Ademola Lookman quiet as a mouse. Big performance as Jurrien Timber continues to be sidelined.Â
