    Costa and Mustafi with a bit of hand bags over nothing. Arsenal wanted to take a free kick on the edge of their own box quickly. Costa didn't want them to...

    Griezmann looks to have surged free into the box, but Xhaka gets back to make a vital challenge just as the Frenchman looked to pull the trigger.

    Altetico starting to see that finish line. Arsenal have looked dangerous all night without penetrating that rearguard. They need to gamble and throw bodies into that home area.
