Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette both bagged braces as Arsenal beat CSKA Moscow 4-1 in the first leg of their quarter-final clash in the Europa League this evening.

The scoring pair will likely take most of the plaudits following a resounding win at the Emirates, although Mesut Ozil was the unsung hero as he played a crucial part in all four goals to help hand the Gunners a commanding lead going into the second leg.

CSKA find themselves in the midst of a troubling run against English sides, having lost six on the bounce against teams from English shores.

Atletico Madrid edged closer to the
Europa League semi-finals after a comfortable 2-0 first-leg victory over Sporting Lisbon.
