Arsenal on course for Europa League semis after beating CSKA Moscow 4-1

Arsenal have beaten CSKA Moscow 4-1 in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final at the Emirates Stadium.

Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette each scored twice as Mesut Ozil put on a Europa League masterclass to overwhelm CSKA Moscow and all but book Arsenal's place in the semi-finals.

Arsene Wenger knows winning this competition is the only realistic way his side can get back into the Champions League as they sit 13 points adrift of the Premier League's top four.
