Bukayo Saka scored the only goal as Premier League leaders Arsenal defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 advance to the Champions League final for the first time in 20 years on Tuesday.

The Gunners advanced to the final with a 2-1 aggregate win over Atletico in the semi-final second leg game at Emirates Stadium.

Saka turned home the decisive goal just before half-time after Leandro Trossard’s shot had been parried, ensuring that Arsenal will face either Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in Budapest on May 30.
