Aaron Ramsey converted an acrobatic stunner as Arsenal ran riot in the first-half at the Emirates against CSKA Moscow in the Europa League.
Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette both scored braces in Arsenal’s first-half vs CSKA Moscow.
Arsenal and Arsene Wenger set the Europa League quarter-finals off to an explosive start as they ran riot over Russian side CSKA Moscow in the opening 45 minutes of the first-leg.
Aaron Ramsey opened the scoring for the Gunners on the 9th minute before Arsenal were momentarily pegged back by a CSKA Moscow equaliser six minutes later.
The Gunners remained unfazed despite having their early lead wiped out and went on to dominate the rest of the first-half through an impressive attacking display.
Alexandre Lacazette made it two after 23 minutes from the spot before Aaron Ramsey produced a piece of magic to make it three just five minuted later.
Mesut Ozil picked up the ball on the left-side of the Arsenal flank before floating a ball into the path of an oncoming Ramsey. The Welshman improvised superbly and produced a finish using his back-heel to lob the ball over CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev. The Arsenal star’s finish can be seen below and we’re still struggling to find a superlative impressive enough to describe it.
STUNNING GOAL, ARSENAL!!!
Mesut Özil with one of the best assists you are ever likely to see
Aaron Ramsey with the insane acrobatic finish!
Lacazette made it four just before half-time but Arsenal fans took to social media to praise Ramsey for his magic and some even speculated that the finish was better then Olivier Giroud’s infamous scorpion-kick for the side last season.
