Eurosport's Gary Taylor watched Arsenal let 10-man Atletico Madrid off-the-hook in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final.

Arsenal

David Ospina 7 - Smart save to deny Griezmann at 0-0. Did his best to prevent the equaliser.

Hector Bellerin 8 - Gave opposite number Lucas a torrid night with his searing pace.

Shkodran Mustafi 6 - Kept it simple. Composed performance.

Laurent Koscielny 6 - Awful error allowed Griezmann to score a crucial away goal.

Nacho Monreal 6 - Got forward well but lacked a decent final ball.

Granit Xhaka 7 - Good range of passing. Always kept the ball moving.

Jack Wilshere 8 - Excellent all round performance. Brilliant assist for Lacazette goal. Enough for an England call-up?

Aaron Ramsey 7 - Industrious performance as is the norm. Always a threat in the opposition box.

Mesut Ozil 7 - Touch, vision, movement. Polished performance.

Danny Welbeck 7 - Full of energy, going back and forward. Solid, if unspectacular.
