Last 16, second leg: Arsenal win 5-1 on aggregate

DANNY WELBECK’S shocking dive sent Arsene Wenger’s side into the last eight.

The England striker went down under minimal contact from Ricardo Rodriguez then converted the spot-kick to cancel out Hakan Calhanoglu’s opener.

Granit Xhaka put Arsenal 2-1 ahead and Welbeck made sure the Gunners will be in today’s draw with his second goal near the end.

OSPINA 6 Beaten from 30 yards. If he moved quicker he might have saved it BELLERIN 7 Great outlet, always bombing down the right. Very lively MUSTAFI 6 Looked a bit shaky and nervous in Arsenal’s defence, got better KOSCIELNY 5 Hobbled off with a bad back after an awkward landing. MONREAL 6

Booked. Back into the starting line-up, made Gunners look secure RAMSEY 6 Left out of the Wales squad but looked good on this evidence XHAKA 6 A presence in midfield, but passing was a bit patchy. Decent overall WILSHERE 7 Took armband after Koscielny went off and wore it with pride OZIL 6 Lovely flicks and touches, but switched off at times MKHITARYAN 7 MOTM. Nice passes, good link-up play and looked for angles WELBECK 0 The dive gets a big fat 0. Nothing can excuse it, embarrassi­ng SUBS: Chambers (Koscielny 11) 7, Elneny (Mkhitaryan 69) 6
