Milan started the game brightly where Giacomo Bonaventura for just a bit was about to score from a deflected cross. Later Arsenal also hit the back of the net with a shot from Mkhitaryan. Hakan Calhanoglu could have gained a penalty in the upcoming minutes where David Ospina touched the turkish player’s foot but he tried to catch the ball and didn’t fall.

Later Mesut Ozil gave a nice assist to Mkhitaryan down the left. A deflected shot from Leonardo Bonucci saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan celebrate the first goal for Arsenal. In the fourth minute of first-half stoppage time Milan conceded their second goal from Aaron Ramsey.

To the winner of Europa League is granted a ticket to Champions League for the next season so for two contenders like AC Milan and Arsenal it is very important who passes to next turn. For the returning match in London is expected a very interesting match where the devils will give all they got and the gunners will likely try to defend what they achieved.
