Atleti 1:0 Arsenal—Vote for Player/Ratings & MOTM!

So, this is how it all ends, eh? Diego Costa bullying his way around the pitch and going down under the lightest of touches, menacing any and all around him and crumpling at every opportune moment.

Our Prem position is all but set at sixth, and we have far-bigger fish to fry with a Europa League final hanging just barely within reach.

However, Mkhitaryan found an equaliser just after halftime, and there it stood until the 88th minute when Fellaini headed off the post off of Rashford and in. A winner? No, Rashford was clearly offside. Minutes later, Fellaini did score the winner. Feh. Let's rate the lads...
