Mikel Arteta hails 'exceptional' Kai Havertz after late winner against Brentford

Arsenal survived a penalty shoot-out against Porto to reach their first Champions League quarter-final in 14 years on a dramatic night at the Emirates.

Leandro Trossard’s first-half goal cancelled out Porto’s first-leg lead but Arsenal were frustrated by their opponents and taken to extra time after a second from Martin Odegaard was disallowed.

There would be no winner in extra time: with Odegaard and Kai Havertz converting Arsenal’s first two penalties, before David Raya produced a stunning fingertip save to nudge Wendell’s kick onto the post.

Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice also scored, before Raya saved again from Galeno to send Arsenal through to their first quarter-final since 2010.

112 min: Pepe just celebrated an interception like he’d scored the winning goal. He’s hyped.

110 min: Sharp football by Arsenal, involving Nketiah who plays a neat flick with his back to goal towards Saka arriving in the box, but Porto crowd out the winger and survive another wave of Arsenal pressure.

Half-time in extra time: Arsenal 1-0 Porto (1-1 agg)

The whistle blows and there will be 15 more minutes coming right up, after a quick touchline huddle.

102 min: Havertz shoves Porto manager Sergio Conceicao after they collide on the touchline, and incredibly he’s not booked. Clement Turpin does not like using his cards.

98 min: Arsenal are pushing hard but perhaps a bit too hard, and some of their connections in the final third aren’t quite clicking, That’s partly due to a bit of fatigue, perhaps, and partly due to some angst in the stadium and on the pitch.

96 min: Excellent from the 73-year-old Pepe who steps across Gabriel Jesus and ushers the ball calmly out of play. Porto are about to make a double change, it seems.
