Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final on Wednesday night.
The Gunners went into the match unbeaten in the competition and hoping to record consecutive wins for the first time this month.
Mikel Arteta’s side took the lead before half-time through Viktor Gyokeres, who converted a penalty late in the first half.
Gyokeres won the spot-kick after being brought down inside the box and calmly fired the ball past Jan Oblak.
However, Atletico Madrid drew level 12 minutes into the second half after Ben White was penalised for handball in the area.
Julian Alvarez stepped up and blasted home the equaliser to leave the tie finely balanced ahead of the return leg at the Emirates Stadium next Tuesday.
