Viktor Gyokeres held the ball up brilliantly down the right-hand side before dinking a cross over to Leandro Trossard.
The Belgian appeared to hesitate on the ball, and for a moment, it looked like the opportunity might have vanished against a compact Atlético defence.
However, Trossard managed to fire a low drive toward the bottom corner. While Jan Oblak reacted with a sharp parry, Bukayo Saka was the most alert man in the box, to tap it in on the rebound
It is huge goal from Saka and a massive goal that has put Arsenal just 45 minutes away from a place in the Champions League final.

Saka’s incredible form since returning from injury
Saka has made an instant impact since returning from an Achilles injury, proving once again why he is indispensable to Mikel Arteta’s tactical setup.
After a lengthy spell on the sidelines through April, he returned to the starting lineup this past weekend and looked like a man on a mission.
In a crucial 3-0 victory over Fulham that kept Arsenal six points (now five) clear at the top of the Premier League, Saka played only 45 minutes but still managed to record a goal and an assist.
Tonight, he has translated that domestic dominance to the European stage.
