At 03:05 Beijing time on April 6 (20:05 local time in the UK on April 5), a key match in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the 2017/18 UEFA Europa League took place at Emirates Stadium. Arsenal secured a commanding 4-1 home victory over CSKA Moscow, with Ramsey and Lacazette each scoring twice. Atletico Madrid, Lazio, and Leipzig all won at home. Arsenal drew at home against CSKA Moscow in 2006; their only home loss to a Russian team came in 1982 against Spartak Moscow. And CSKA Moscow’s only away victory against an English team was against Manchester City in 2014. Arsenal has remained unbeaten in their last 8 home matches in the UEFA Europa League (including the League Cup), with 6 wins and 2 draws. Atletico Madrid won 2-0 at home against Sporting Portugal. Just 22 seconds into the match, Diego Costa intercepted the ball in the attacking area and passed it straight through, allowing Koke to score from inside the penalty area with a solo shot. In the 40th minute, Mathieu lost the ball, and Griezmann broke through to 11 yards out before shooting home from close range. Leipzig won 1-0 at home against Marseille. In the second half’s stoppage time, Forsberg passed the ball directly in a counterattack; Werner moved into the right side of the penalty area and shot low, with the ball going under Marseille’s goalkeeper Baley and into the net. Lazio defeated Salzburg 4-2 at home. In the 8th minute, Basta crossed from the right side of the penalty area, and Lulic pushed the ball into the net in front of the small penalty area. Berisha scored a penalty in the 30th minute to level the score for Salzburg. In the 49th minute, Alberto passed the ball low from the right side of the penalty area, and Parolo scored with a brilliant heel shot from 8 yards away. In the 71st minute, Mininiño scored from inside the penalty area on the right side, firing into the near post to level the score once again. In the 74th minute, Milinković-Savić passed the ball, and Anderson scored from inside the penalty area with a solo shot. In the 76th minute, Lucas passed the ball and Immobile scored from 12 yards out.
