CSKA Moscow 2-2 Arsenal (Agg: 3-6): 5 Talking Points

CSKA Moskva v Arsenal FC - UEFA Europa League Quarter Final Leg Two
Arsenal managed to get the job done, in the end, against a spirited side from Moscow.

#4 Not sure if Danny Welbeck or Thierry Henry?

Arsenal v Southampton - Premier League
Welbeck had also won the league game for Arsenal, against the Saints, just last weekend.

Arsenal were in for another earful from everyone associated with the club, because they managed to throw away two out a three-goal lead from the first leg, until the Englishman Danny Welbeck continued his brilliant run of form in the week, after he had similarly saved the Gunners' blushes against a relegation-threatened Saints' side.

Not the brace from the weekend but a goal well worthy of the entry fee alone, as Welbeck came up with a mesmerizing piece of footballing art.

First, with the best turn in Europe all campaign - with that reminiscent drop of the shoulder of a certain Frenchman for Arsenal in the glorious years gone by - Welbeck then linked up with Elneny, who himself came up with a telling through ball - perfectly weighted - for the striker to bend it into the top right corner with that dismissive finessed first-time effort which was even more reminiscent of Thierry Henry.
