Football: Arsenal, Atletico through to semis of Europa League

English giants Arsenal clinched a 2-2 draw against CSKA Moscow in the UEFA Europa League 2nd leg quarter-final encounter. The draw was enough for Arsene Wenger's side to reach the semis after a 6-3 overall aggregate. Meanwhile, Atletico suffered a 1-0 loss in Lisbon but despite that they booked their spot in semis. Here is how the Europe League quarter-finals turned up.

Arsenal come back from behind to progress

England international Danny Welbeck handed lacklustre Gunners a much needed breathing space in the 75th minute. Aaron Ramsey then struck the crucial equalizer in injury time as Arsenal ensured qualification. The English side had gone 0-2 down in the first half with goals from Fyodor Chalov and Kirill Nababkin. The visitors have reached their first ever Europa League semi-final.

Atletico through despite woes

Two-time Europa League winners Atletico Madrid sealed progression despite an unimpressive night in Lisbon. Diego Simeone's side went down after a first-half goal from Sporting's Fredy Montero in the 28th minute. The favourites for the tournament held on from there on to protect their first leg lead. The qualified on a 2-1 aggregate score, not before losing key players to injuries.

Marseille, Salzburg show spirited comebacks

Red Bull Salzburg, which were trailing 2-4 from the first leg against Lazio, won 4-1 at home to enter the semi-finals. All four goals came in the second half despite Lazio taking the lead. Marseille too staged a comeback after losing the first leg and being 1-0 down at home against Leipzig. They went on to win 5-2 and an overall 5-3 on aggregate.
