Following Arsenal's dramatic 3-2 victory over Benfica in the Europa League on Thursday evening in Athens, Mikel Arteta's side live to fight another day in continental competition.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang grabbed a late winner to help the Gunners edge past the Lisbon giants and into the last 16 of the Europa League.
In a 'home' leg hosted at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus, Greece, because of Covid restrictions, Arsenal's captain opened the scoring to give the Gunners a 2-1 lead on aggregate.
Diogo Goncalves levelled for Benfica moments before the interval with a fine free-kick after Dani Ceballos had needlessly fouled Julian Weigl.
Real Madrid loanee had a miserable night, compounding his first half error with a poor defensive header which saw Rafa Silva drive on to put Benfica ahead.
However, Mikel Arteta's side showed character despite requiring two goals to advance because of the away goals rule, when Kieran Tierney's excellent shot set up a grandstand finish before Aubameyang won the tie for The Arsenal.
