It always felt as if a mistake might decide the game - and so it proved. With just a minute of normal time remaining at the end of the first half, Jan Oblak spilled a shot from Leandro Trossard at the feet of Saka, leaving Arsenal's homegrown hero with the simplest of finishes from inside the six-yard area to send the home fans into raptures.
Atletico applied some pressure in the second half, but their best chance actually came from a William Saliba error. Unfortunately for coach Diego Simeone, his son Giuliano was unable to find the back of the net after pouncing on a loose header from the Frenchman - despite taking the ball around David Raya.
As a result, Arsenal held on quite comfortably to put themselves one victory away from a first-ever European Cup. Below, GOAL rates all of the Gunners on show on a historic night at the Emirates...
