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.

84 min: Another Arsenal chance! Saka whips an effort at goal and it’s parried out to the edge of the box where Odegaard tries to fire first-time into the half-empty goal, but he can’t convert the tricky chance and it bounces wide.
