The last goal definitely made a big difference. Arsenal's away form has been pretty shambolic but the important thing for them is that they are not out of the tie now unless Valencia are 4-0 up in the second leg. That looks quite unlikely. Valencia's plan this evening was quite specifically to play on the counter attack. Now that Arsenal are 3-1 up, they can run a similar game plan in Valencia, with the pace of Aubameyang a bigger plus for them than anything that Valencia had this evening.

The first Arsenal goal is very much the type of goal they can expect to score in Valencia, provided Valencia do not go 2-0 up early in the game. I think Arsenal will have enough chances to score, and more as the game goes along. Aside from the first 15 minutes tonight, and a few short spells in the second half, Arsenal were the stronger team tonight.

Having said all that, for Arsenal to win the competition with a central midfield pairing of Guendouzi and Xhaka shows how poor they are and how poor the Europa League as a tournament is. Xhaka gives it away too much and has too much faith in his own ability. Guendouzi is tenacious enough and mobile but he is still far from a top level central midfielder. If they are all that is required in central midfield to make a Europa League final (leaving aside the ongoing sporadic contributions of Ozil), it speaks volumes of the competition.

Still, they went from marginal odds against to semi-comfortable odds on to make the final as a result of that late Auba goal, which Auba's play tonight at least deserved. I wonder how many he would score for City or Liverpool, because he's a very good player, and he's had reasonable spells this season on the wing and in a spluttering team.

It'll be a big ask for Valencia to make the final now, they had a very good chance at 2-1, but that late goal for Arsenal gives them a huge advantage. The one thing in their favour is Arsenal's away form, but I'm not sure they'll keep a clean sheet

certainly wouldn’t be putting any blame on Neto for anything I thought he’s been decent. Some terrible defending by both teams

Wouldn't put too much blame on Neto for it, I think the bounce made it very awkward for him. It was far too easy for Lacazette to get his head on it though, the "marking" from Roncaglia was laughable

Shocker of a mistake from Neto for Lacazette's 2nd goal. Valencia were causing a lot of problems in the first 20/25 minutes and had 2 or 3 chances to score before their goal, but faded in the last 15 minutes of that half.

Christ almighty, Roncaglia has been hopeless for Valencia tonight. Such a good start for them, but Arsenal have been far better since they equalised.

Gary Cahill has started zero league games and made one sub appearance this season.

In Europe he played 4 of 6 group stage games and made no appearances in the 6 group stage games.

Shut up Sarri
