Arsenal grateful to falling idol Welbeck as Gunners see of Milan

Arsenal 3 - AC Milan 1 (Arsenal win 5-1 on agg): Arsene Wenger can be thankful there was no Video Assistant Referees on duty as his Arsenal side made it through to the last eight of the Europa League after surviving a scare or two against fallen European giants AC Milan.

The Italian side, trailing 2-0 from last week’s first leg, were playing their way back into the tie when they pulled a goal back 10 minutes before half-time, only to concede a controversial penalty after Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck went down from a ‘ghost’ challenge before scoring from the spot.

Maybe Arsenal manager Wenger was right when he recently commented that English forwards have mastered the art of diving.
