We will take a 1-0 lead back to north London in next week's Champions League quarter-final second leg, as we snatched a late first-leg win at Sporting CP.

Kai Havertz made the most of an excellent pass from fellow substitute Gabriel Martinelli to guide a composed finish home in the dying moments in Lisbon, potentially a crucial strike.

We now retain focus on the Premier League with Saturday's huge return to Emirates Stadium against Bournemouth, after which we will contest the Portuguese giants in next Wednesday's second leg.

You can take a look at the best of the action in the video above, with an extended cut and full match replay to come.
