Julian Alvarez’s penalty secured Atletico Madrid a 1-1 draw against Arsenal in a nervy Champions League semi-final first leg clash on Wednesday.
Viktor Gyokeres sent Arsenal ahead from the spot just before the interval after he was fouled, but Alvarez followed suit 10 minutes into the second half after Ben White’s handball.
The Gunners were upset at a late penalty decision being overturned following a VAR review when David Hancko made contact with Eberechi Eze in the area.

The Gunners next take on Fulham as they continue their battle with Manchester City for the Premier League title, while with little to play for in LaLiga, Simeone will rotate heavily before this tie is decided in London.
