It wasn't pretty, but Arsenal get the job done against Benfica with a 4-3 aggregate win to progress to the UEFA Europa League round of 16. ESPN FC's Steve Nicol and Alexis Nunes break down the biggest storylines from this back-and-forth match, including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's heroic brace with both goals set up by man-of-the-match candidate Bukayo Saka. Nicol praises both Arsenal stars for propelling the team to victory after Dani Ceballos' mistakes led to two Benfica goals. Nicol adds that Mikel Arteta's side showed great fight, but individual errors nearly cost the Gunners a spot in the next round.
