Arsenal survive scare in Russia to reach Europa League semi-finals as Welbeck and Ramsey net late to see off CSKA Moscow

CSKA Moscow 2-2 Arsenal (agg: 3-6): Danny Welbeck and Aaron Ramsey fire nervy Gunners into semi-finals after Fyodor Chalov and Kirill Nababkin had Russians on the brink of heroic comeback

This was supposed a leisurely Thursday night stroll. It turned into an evening of unnecessary nerve-wracking trauma for Arsenal.
