Once upon a time, a 2-2 draw away from home in the first leg of a European knockout tie would have been viewed as a fantastic result.
However, following UEFA's decision at the beginning of last season to scrap the away goals rule, it means Arsenal still have it all to do when they welcome Sporting CP to the Emirates Stadium for next week's decider as a goalless draw - or even a 1-1 draw - won't be enough to qualify for the Europa League quarter-final.
In an entertaining game - particularly for the neutral - in Lisbon, the Gunners took the lead through William Saliba's towering header but needed an own goal from Hidemasa Morita in the second half to avoid defeat after Goncalo Inacio and Paulinho had put the hosts ahead either side of half-time.
