Arsenal vs ac milan live updates

The Rossoneri boss said of Wilshere: "I remember him when I came here to play a tournament in He can play in any league. He can make the ball do the running and knows where to put it. He can play both as a support striker and playmaker. He combines English grit with Spanish technique. I like him a lot. He's really important to Arsenal.

Xhaka unleashes a thumping low strike from 25 yards that should be dealt with by Donnarumma, but somehow the Milan goalkeeper pushes the ball into the ground and over the line.

Bonucci bursts into the Arsenal half of the pitch and curls a wonderful cross right onto the head of Kalinic. The striker only has Ospina to beat, but he can only find the hands of the goalkeeper. He should have done much better with that!

It looks set to reach the onrushing Borini, but Wilshere is just about to latch onto the ball ahead of the makeshift full-back before being fouled.

The striker can't do anything with the ball, though, and he allows it to bounce behind for a goal-kick. He then goes down under a tackle from Mustafi, but there's no contact whatsoever and he earns himself a booking for diving. Silva chips a wonderful curling cross into the heart of the box and straight to Cutrone, who manages to unleash a thumping volley but somehow sends it just wide of the near post.

Calhanoglu picks up the ball in space and immediately heads towards the Arsenal penalty area. He isn't closed down quickly enough and is able to pick out Silva, who can't control the ball but goes down after tangling with Bellerin. He screams for a penalty but the referee immediately tells him to get back to his feet. Milan lose the ball over on the left wing and Arsenal counter-attack once again. Ozil breaks into the penalty area and cuts a pass over to Ramsey, who immediately shots but sends his strike high over the crossbar.

A low cross into the Arsenal box fails to find a black shirt but bounces out to Suso. The Spaniard quickly shoots, but he ends up firing his first-time effort a few yards wide of the far post. Mkhitaryan sprints through the middle of the pitch and works the ball over to Ozil, who crosses towards the far post but can't quite pick out the onrushing Welbeck. The set-piece is a well-executed one and curls right onto the head of Mustafi, who beats Bonucci in the air but can't quite hit the target with his looping header.

This time it's Ozil who picks the ball up in a promising position and pokes a pass over to Mkhitaryan, who unleashes a curling strike that Donnarumma does well to push behind for a corner. He then cuts a clever pass back to Ramsey, who shoots after taking a touch but can only chip the ball into Donnarumma's hands.

Kessie is eventually able to get a shot away from 20 yards out, but it's comfortably stopped by Ospina. The two teams are making their way back out on to the pitch ahead of the start of the second half. Neither side have made any substitutions during the half-time break. What did our Arsenal correspondent Chris Wheatley think of the first 45 minutes?

Milan need two goals to get back in the match and I can't see that happening in 45 minutes. HT: Tonight's tie was always going to be an exciting one, and that's certainly proved to be the case so far! Arsenal have impressed this evening but found themselves a goal down after a yard screamer from Calhanoglu somehow got the better of Ospina. They immediately got back into the game with a controversial penalty, though, and it's left Milan needing two goals to go through.

Milan are slightly sloppy inside their own half of the pitch, allowing Wilshere to pick up possession and burst forward once again. He then shoots from 25 yards out, and his rocket of a strike forces Donnarumma into making a good diving save. A looping cross from Monreal sails over to the far post and perfectly picks out Welbeck. The striker quickly knocks the ball down to Mkhitaryan, who gets a head on it and sends an effort on goal just wide of the near post.

The resulting set-piece fails to result in a chance on goal, but Milan quickly push forward once again. Suso whips a lovely cross back into the box and over to the far post, where Calhanoglu forces Ospina into making a smart stop. The linesman's flag is then raised for offside just as Silva tries to unleash a follow-up strike from a few yards out.

A bouncing cross is fired into the Arsenal box and towards Silva, who is lurking at the near post. The ball deflects off the striker and into the arm of Chambers, and the Milan players immediately appeal for a penalty of their own.

The referee isn't convinced, though, and only awards them a corner. Welbeck steps up and calmly slots a wonderful strike into the bottom left-hand corner of the net to re-establish Arsenal's two-goal aggregate lead. Welbeck breaks into the box and latches onto a poked pass from Mkhitaryan ahead of Rodriguez. He's then caught by an outstretched arm from the full-back, which sends him crashing to the ground. The referee initially allows play to go on but eventually points to the spot, much to the disbelief of the Milan players.

Hugely controversial call! Arsenal quickly push forward from the restart and set up Ramsey, who shoots from the edge of the box and forces Donnarumma into making a lovely diving stop.

Wenger won't be too happy with his side's defending there. Milan have taken the lead! Rodriguez breaks down the left wing and pokes the ball over to Calhanoglu.

He's in a pocket of space 25 yards away from goal and quickly shoots, and he beats Ospina with an excellent strike that swerves into the far corner of the net. He then just about manages to latch onto a flicked pass from Cutrone, but the linesman's flag is raised as soon as the Portuguese tries to find a team-mate. He's unable to do so, though, as he's dealt with well by the Arsenal defence and is eventually dispossessed. He decides not to shoot and crosses instead, but he's marshalled out of play by Cutrone and ends up firing the ball behind for a goal-kick.

Monreal rushes towards the pass and looks set to reach it, but Borini gets there ahead of the Spaniard and ends up being fouled from behind. Arsenal immediately hit their visitors on the counter-attack after dealing with the danger. Welbeck sprints into the left-hand side of the penalty area and manages to get a shot away, but Donnarumma is there at the near post to save his thumping effort.
