94' THE REF BLOWS THE WHISTLE ONE LAST TIME!

There will be no silverware for the Frenchman in his final season in charge at the helm of Arsenal Football Club. Not the fairytale ending everyone associated with Arsenal Football Club wanted.

02:17 (IST)4 MAY 2018

82' Diego Costa has gone done in the opposition half. Not sure why. He has asked to be subbed off though. On comes another familiar adversary in Fernando Torres. Costa has done a job against the North London side. AGAIN.

62' Arsenal building from the back. 

01:55 (IST)4 MAY 2018

01:47 (IST)4 MAY 2018

51' Koke with an effort.

No real pace or power behind it though. Never troubling Ospina in the Arsenal goal.

50' Wilshere fouled by Gabi. Wilshere has taken over the role of captain for Arsenal following Koscielny's exit.

01:43 (IST)4 MAY 2018

48' Mustafi showing us he can tackle without conceding a foul. Concedes a corner instead. Costa on the end one the cross. Straight into the hands of Ospina. Should've done better the former Chelsea man.

01:41 (IST)4 MAY 2018

48' Ospina's turn to punt the ball forward in hope. No luck.

01:41 (IST)4 MAY 2018

47' Arsenal still jittery at the start fo the second. Gift a throw to their opposition. Arsenal will prove to be an amazing first date won't they?
Will put out for you and everything.

01:39 (IST)4 MAY 2018

46' The home side get things underway in the second.. If you don't yet know which goal they're attacking in the second, you don't deserve to know.

01:27 (IST)4 MAY 2018

48' Referee blows for half time! Right on the brink of half time and Arsenal concede another avoidable goal. Doesn't dramatically alter the course of the tie thought that, as Arsenal still need to score at least one goal.

01:26 (IST)4 MAY 2018

DIEGOOOOO COOOOOOOSSSSSTTTTTTAAAAAAAA!

Arsenal's defensive frailties coming to fore again. Oblak with a clearance rather than a ball forward. They don't deal with it again. Mustafi heads it out to the opposition and they break in numbers with Costa finding himself with the goal at his mercy, Bellerin trying to bring him to the ground. Not happening. He just lifts it over the keeper with his left. Emphatic finish!

01:23 (IST)4 MAY 2018

GOAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!! Atletico 1-0 Arsenal!
