Arsenal 4-1 CSKA Moscow: 5 Talking Points

#4 CSKA will have to do the unthinkable if they are to qualify

CSKA have a herculean task on their hands

It's so nearly the end of the road for CSKA Moscow who will now have to overturn a three-goal deficit when the two sides lock horns in Moscow next week. Golovin's goal in the 15th minute means that the Russians have an away goal to their advantage but it surely is Arsenal's tie to lose after they romped to an impressive first-leg victory.

Arsene Wenger's men look well poised to enter the penultimate knockout round before the final at the Groupama Stadium in France. Arsenal will know that Russia isn't the best place to visit for a crucial knockout cup game, but then this performance surely proved that they have what it takes to avoid any slip-ups.
