    Ezequiel Garay might be lucky there and it was a shocking tackle. He wags his finger at the referee but it was a stonewall foul. He goes straight through the back of Alexandre Lacazette.

  2. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:39 British Summer Time 9 May 2019

    Valencia 1-1 Arsenal (2-4 agg)

    BIG chance for Arsenal. Great wing play by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with a nice stepover too. He picks out Alexandre Lacazette, who hits a sweet first-time effort from 14 yards out. The keeper is rooted to the spot but it comes off the outside of the post.

    Sam: What teams would be in Europe from England if Arsenal get 5th and win Europa League, would it be 1-5 (champs) 6-7 (europa) and fa cup europa with maybe 8th?

    Not far off. FA Cup winners get in the Europa League. If that's Man City then seventh place does. No Euro spot for eighth.

    @NiiNiiFC WHO ELSE WAS IT GONNA BE!! Chelsea's new talisman after Hazard, LOFTUS CHEEK!! His movement off the ball is elite, top. top player. We've missed him as our no 8 throughout the season for real.

    @MKingy25 Get iiiiiiiin. Loftus-Cheek is the real deal.

    @Rubeyinho We all know RLC is amazing but what a breakthrough season he is having.

    Valencia 1-1 Arsenal (2-4 agg)

    Valencia go close. QPR legend Dani Parejo steps up to take the free-kick and tries to curl it in at the far post - but it goes wide. Not sure if Petr Cech had it covered.

    Good counter-attack from Valencia and Lucas Torreira fouls Goncalo Guedes on the edge of the box.

    Valencia 1-1 Arsenal (2-4 agg)

    Another Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang chance for Arsenal. He's picked out in space around the penalty spot but his shot is easily saved by Neto.

    It's a composed finish by Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Credit goes to Eden Hazard because he has been isolated on the wing but he jinks inside and Loftus-Cheek does the rest. It's a great goal.

    Valencia 1-1 Arsenal (2-4 agg)

    Valencia's former Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin is hobbling after a collision with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. But if anything it was Coquelin who committed the foul.

    Nice. Chelsea take the lead. Eden Hazard picks out Ruben Loftus-Cheek in space and the England midfielder just opens his body to guide it past the keeper into the far corner.

    Who remembers Dani Parejo's 2008 loan spell at QPR? I certainly don't.

    Daniel Parejo is the best player on the pitch and he is absolutely bossing things in the middle of the park. Granit Xhaka needs to get closer to him.

    So as things stand Arsenal and Chelsea are in the final.

    The Gunners can 'afford' to concede one but the Blues cannot.

    Chelsea 0-0 Eintracht Frankfurt (1-1 agg)

    Goalline clearance saves Frankfurt. Willian's free-kick is flicked on by the head of David Luiz but Makoto Hasebe hacks it off the line.

    Arsenal have a corner, they pick out Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in space but he crouches to head it and it goes well over.

    @JBLuvsCeltic OMG. Arsenal equalize out of nothing after being on their heels all match. Brilliant shot by Aubameyang.

    @jonnymango95 Arsenal don’t deserve Aubamaneyang. He could end up winning us silverware single handed.

    @LotakX That's a really really good finish from Auby. You can see he meant it. Really important goal for Arsenal.

    Chance for Olivier Giroud. Eden Hazard finds Emerson. The Brazilian plays in a low cross which Giroud pokes towards goal but Kevin Trapp won't be beaten at his near post and saves with his chest.

    Valencia haven't looked as electric since Arsenal's equaliser. This is their first chance since then. Rodrigo clips a ball into the box and it drops for Daniel Wass, who volleys high and wide.
