Gunners survive Moscow ambush

In a week where European football has been dominated by dramatic comebacks and shocks, Arsenal were given an almighty scare by CSKA Moscow as they booked a place in the Europa League semi-final.

Ahead of this match last night, Arsene Wenger and his players had witnessed on Tuesday how Roma had overturned a three-goal first leg deficit to topple Barcelona in their Champions League quarter-final.

They had seen too a day later how Juventus had come within minutes of achieving a similar feat against Real Madrid.
