Gunners reach Europa League semi-finals
Arsenal secured what manager Mikel Arteta called an "important win in a crucial moment" as they impressively swept aside Slavia Prague to reach the Europa League semi-finals.
The Gunners produced one of their best performances of the campaign to turn a potentially difficult night into a fine away victory.
With the tie evenly poised at 1-1, they scored three goals in the opening 24 minutes and had another ruled out by the video assistant referee - all-but ending the contest in the opening period.
Arsenal's two-goal scorer Lacazette stared directly at the Slavia Prague's players while taking the knee before kick-off. The Slavia players stood while the visiting side made the anti-racism gesture
It kept alive their hopes winning the competition - and with it their only realistic chance of European football next season.
"The boys were really at it from the start," Arteta said. "We won in a convincing way, so credit to the players."
Nicolas Pepe squeezed home at the near post to open the scoring in the 18th minute before Alexandre Lacazette converted a penalty three minutes later following a foul on Bukayo Saka.
Saka coolly swept in the third as Arsenal tore their Czech opponents apart once more.
Arteta's side controlled the game expertly thereafter and Lacazette smashed his second low into the net in the latter stages.
The Gunners will face Villarreal - managed by former Arsenal boss Unai Emery - in the last four.
Rampant Arsenal keep season going
This was Arsenal's biggest game remaining this season.
Had they lost, their campaign would have effectively been over. Instead they breathed life into its final two months.
Their wastefulness in the first leg left the tie in the balance but in Prague, where their hosts had not lost for more than a year, they were supremely clinical.
Spurred on by the guile and energy of Emile Smith Rowe, they scored three goals from five first-half shots - doing so without their captain Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, who revealed shortly before kick-off he has contracted malaria.
Slavia had already knocked Leicester and Rangers out of this year's competition but at half-time they resorted to substituting four key players, seemingly an acceptance the tie was over.
It is 25 years since Arsenal, currently ninth in the league, failed to qualify for Europe and this win ensured they can extend that run.
A meeting with Emery, who took Arsenal to the Europa League final in 2019 and won the tournament three times as manager of Sevilla, awaits on 29 April.
"It will be really tough and Unai Emery is probably the most successful manager in this competition," Arteta told BT Sport.
"We started really well and were aggressive in our high press.
"We looked a threat all the time. I really like the reaction of the team to the goal being disallowed."
Arsenal's best performance of the season?
It is little surprise that this performance came with Smith Rowe and Saka - the two shining lights of Arsenal's inconsistent season - reunited in the attacking line.
Smith Rowe, a doubt for the game with an ankle injury that kept him out of the weekend's win over Sheffield United, had put Arsenal ahead in the 14th minute when he turned in the rebound after Saka's rasping shot was turned on to the post but he was narrowly judged to be offside.
It was the 20-year-old playmaker, however, who showed delightful feet to tee up Pepe for the opener moments later.
He then played in Saka whose driving run was unfairly halted by the sliding Jakub Hromada, resulting in the second goal from the penalty spot.
Saka took the spotlight soon after, driving off his flank once more and finding the bottom corner while Lacazette was clinical with his spot-kick and assured second-half finish.
Pepe, too, a player often criticised during his time at Arsenal, impressed on the left. He now has five goals and four assists in this year's competition.
It will also please Arteta how Arsenal managed the game with a defensive solidity not seen at times this season.
"It shows everyone how exciting we can be, when we play like this it is so amazing to be involved in."

EPL : Emery bangga kebangkitan Arsenal | ARSENAL 2-2 SPURS
LONDON - Pengurus Arsenal, Unai Emery memuji semangat juang yang ditampilkan barisan pemainnya ketika bangkit daripada ketinggalan dua gol untuk mencatat keputusan seri 2-2 menentang Tottenham Hotspur pada aksi Liga Perdana England (EPL) di Stadium Emirates malam kelmarin.
The Gunners yang beraksi di hadapan penyokong sendiri, berada di ambang kekalahan apabila Spurs berjaya mendahului 2-0 menerusi jaringan Christian Eriksen dan Harry Kane sebelum Alexandre Lacazette merapatkan kedudukan 2-1 pada hujung separuh masa pertama.
Serangan demi serangan yang dilancarkan Arsenal sebaik separuh masa kedua bermula akhirnya membuahkan hasil apabila penyerang, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang menjaringkan gol penyamaan pada minit ke-71.
“Saya sangat bangga dengan kesungguhan yang ditampilkan semua pemain pada perlawanan hari ini (kelmarin). Mereka bermain dengan sepenuh hati, kadang-kadang mungkin melebihi apa yang diminta.
“Kami melakukan beberapa kesilapan pada separuh masa pertama, jadi kami cuba tenangkan fikiran dan perbaiki kelemahan itu. Penyokong juga banyak membantu kami, tetapi gol pertama merupakan kunci kebangkitan Arsenal,” kata Emery.
Bagaimanapun, pengendali dari Sepanyol itu menegaskan, The Gunners sepatutnya mampu meraih tiga mata penuh di laman sendiri.
“Kami lebih layak untuk memenangi perlawanan ini. Bagaimanapun, saya gembira dengan corak permainan yang ditampilkan kedua-dua pasukan dan saya percaya penonton juga terhibur,” ujarnya.

Lagenda Arsenal akui permainanan teruk dari Emery dan Arsenal
Lagenda Arsenal Martin Keown tidak gembira apabila melihat Arsenal tewas kpd BATE Borisov & mengakui ia kekalahan paling teruk di bawah Unai Emery
Stanislav Dragun menjaringkan gol tunggal perlawanan pada babak pertama perlawanan untuk memberi kelebihan BATE menjelang aksi kedua. Lebih teruk Arsenal kehilangan Alexander Lacazette dlm perlawanan itu selepas beliau dilayangkan kad merah pada hujung perlawanan.
Kekalahan tersebut menyaksikan Arsenal tiada peluang lain selain mereka wajib menang dgn defisit 2 gol ke atas BATE di Stadium Emirates minggu depan.
Keown mengharapkan Arsenal akan lebih baik pada perlawanan kedua nanti kerana UEFA Europa League merupakan sasaran kejuaraan Arsenal.
Arsenal yg nampak bergelut di saingan liga untuk menduduki tangga empat teratas Premier League mempunyai peluang ke UEFA Champions League dgn syarat memenangi UEL.
Ia sangat teruk dan saya boleh mengingatinya di bawah kendalian Emery ia merupakan kekalahan paling teruk pernah kami lihat
Anda perlu memberi krdt kepada BATE, ia keputusan bermakna untuk mereka bamun Arsenal hanya tidak mampu untuk masuk ke dalam kotak.
Ia ada sedikit kerosakan ketika mereka bermain.Anda boleh menyalahkan permukaan padang yg teruk namun anda perlu jadi Arsenal yg lebih baik.
Pada babak kedua anda mengharapkan reaksi daripada Emery & anak buahnya pada minit 70 beliau melakukan pertukaran namun ia masih belum cukup, ujar Emery.

2 jaringan Lacazette buat Arsenal raih kemenangan ats West Brom
What a clearance, @_nachomonreal
Apa kata Atok Wenger tentang persembahan Alex Lacazette di Emirates
Yes, he has found confidence and I believe he is adapting quickly to the demands of the Premier League. I think it's quite positive. Now he has to score away from home, but he was unlucky as well away to Stoke I must say. Overall it's a good sign that he keeps scoring at home.
On big performances from Monreal & Elneny
They were outstanding, both of them. I am pleased for both of them of course, but especially for Elneny because he has not always played, but what he did tonight was very positive. The two of them are top players who have a fantastic mentality.

Abe Giroud hero of the day | Permulaan baik buat The Gunners
Giroud the hero for new-look Arsenal
Arsenal's Olivier Giroud said Arsenal "kept the faith" after delivering a late winner in Saturday's wild 4-3 win over Leicester to open the Premier League season.
The Gunners twice fell behind before Arsene Wenger put on Giroud and Aaron Ramey in what turned out to be an inspired double change as both substitutes scored to provide the victory
Giroud got the winner with an 85th-minute header, and he told Sky Sports afterward that Arsenal never doubted they could come back.
"Obviously I knew that I was going to have a chance so we tried to push," he said. "We kept the faith and kept believing in our game to push hard.
"We've been courageous to the end and thank God we won the game."
Wenger said he was happy Giroud decided to stay at the Emirates after having the opportunity to move on this summer following the signing of Alexandre Lacazette.
Alexandre Lacazette's goal - after 94 seconds - is the joint quickest opening goal to a Premier League season
"I love the man and the player. He's a fantastic guy and he's committed," the manager said. "He doesn't want to leave and I'm happy he wants to stay.
"At one stage I opened the door for him as I knew I had many strikers, and in the end he decided to stay.
Wenger acknowledged it would be difficult to give playing time to all of his attackers, but was happy with all the contributions on Friday night.
There was controversy in the build-up to Arsenal's equalising goal for 3-3 with a handball before Aaron Ramsey's strike
"Going forward and character wise we have been great. We had some avoidable goals which we conceded and overall we have to work on that," he said.
"It's impossible to keep them happy when strikers don't play. We have many games and hopefully I can give games to all the strikers. They all deserve to play."
Petr Cech has seen better days after conceding three goals, and he said Leicester did well to pounce on Arsenal's errors.
"We started really well and I thought we could stay in control. Then we made mistakes and they punished us," he said. "They had chances and then we had to chase.
"There were difficult moments when we were down and we managed to get out of that and it's great to see."
