Arsenal reaches Champions League semis

Mikel Arteta's team delivered a disciplined defensive performance at the Emirates Stadium to stifle Sporting's attacking threats.

While the individual performance was described as unconvincing by some critics, the result ensures Arsenal remains in contention for a historic trophy double.

The club will now prepare for a semi-final showdown against Atletico Madrid.

However, the victory was tempered by an injury to Noni Madueke, who limped off during the match.
