Arsenal have booked their place in the semi-finals of the Europa League thanks to a 6-3 aggregate victory against CSKA Moscow.
The Gunners led 4-1 from the first leg but were made to work hard for their passage through in the end, as the Red-Blues moved to within one goal early in the second half.
Danny Welbeck struck to continue his good form, however, finding a way through from his side's first attempt on target for a crucial goal, and Aaron Ramsey added a late second to earn a 2-2 draw on the night.
Arsenal failed to get out of first gear in a sloppy first half in which they were unable to come close to testing Igor Akinfeev in the opposition goal.
For the opening 25 minutes it mattered little, as CSKA were also struggling to create any openings as they went in search of a first win in seven attempts against an English opponent on home soil.
A dragged Kristijan Bistrovic shot aside, it took until half an hour in for the first real attempt, with Alexandre Lacazette being picked out in a good position but seeing his shot blocked by Aleksei Berezutski in front of goal.
The visitors were looking a lot less comfortable when Fedor Chalov netted his first Europa League goal of the season, though, giving the Red-Blues something to build on.
Aleksandr Golovin headed Konstantin Kuchaev's cross on target for Petr Cech to push out, only for Chalov to latch on to the rebound and fire the ball home for a key goal on the night.
A good chance for Bistrovic to add a second before the break came and went, curling the ball wide from the edge of the box, but it was CSKA who had momentum on their side heading into the second half.
The hosts, denied a penalty late in the opening 45 minutes when the ball struck Ramsey's hand, had their third goal of the tie five minutes after the restart through Kirill Nababkin.
Banned for the first leg, the full-back marked his return to the side by blasting home a rebound following some questionable goalkeeping from Cech, who this time parried Golovin's long-range shot into Nababkin's path.
Cech did better from the next attempt, pushing Golovin's free kick wide of the target, with the visitors - now winless in Russia in five attempts - having to hold on.
Mohamed Elneny then had a goal correctly ruled out for offside and Laurent Koscielny sent an awkward volleyed chance over the crossbar as the Gunners attempted to grab a foothold.
With CSKA the side in the ascendancy, though, and Sergey Ignashevich becoming the latest to test Cech, Arsene Wenger brought on Calum Chambers and went with three at the back.
That switch in formation appeared to work, as Welbeck tucked the ball past Akinfeev after exchanging passes with Elneny - one of two enforced Arsenal changes tonight - with 15 minutes left to play.
Alex Iwobi missed a good chance late on to make certain of things, but Ramsey fared better when racing clean through on goal by lofting the ball over Akinfeev to keep the Londoners on course for silverware.
Atletico Madrid limp into Europa League semi-finals
Atletico Madrid limped into the semi-finals of the Europa League despite a 1-0 defeat away at Sporting Lisbon in the second leg of their quarter-final clash in Portugal this evening.
Diego Simeone's men toiled for much of the night at the Estadio Jose Alvalade and were ultimately beaten by Fredy Montero's header, only for the Spanish club to benefit from a 2-0 win in the first leg in order to help them progress with a 2-1 aggregate victory.
Sporting started the better of the two sides and they threatened early on when Marcos Acuna rose highest in the box, but he saw his glancing header fly just wide of Jan Oblak's top corner.
Simeone's charges were well off the pace in the first 45 minutes, Sebastian Coates beating the leap of his marker to draw a fine save from Oblak, who dived with an outstretched right to keep the scores level.
Lisbon continued to cause issues down the flanks and they took the lead when Bruno Fernandes crossed into the box to leaving Oblak flapping, before Montero broke free at the back post to head back across goal and make it 1-0 to the hosts.
With very few signs of an Atletico response, Sporting might just have drew level on aggregate before the interval, although Gelson Martins made a mess at the far post after being found by a wonderful ball from deep courtesy of Acuna.
Atletico were much improved after half time and the visitors' first real chance landed at the feet of Antoine Griezmann, who could only send a tame effort straight at Rui Patricio from a wide and improbable angle.
Sporting still offered glimpses of danger too and Montero might have done better when the ball dropped kindly in the middle of the area, but he could only drill straight into the grateful arms of Oblak.
Griezmann was anonymous for much of the evening but the Frenchman almost made the final 10 minutes more comfortable for Atletico, although he saw his free kick from range fade just a few inches wide with Patricio looking beaten.
The Frenchman was presented with two other opportunities in the closing stages, but once more he came up short as he first fired straight at Patricio, before dragging another wide despite breaking cleverly into space beyond the defence on both occasions.
In the end the misses were not to matter as Sporting failed to create a much-needed surprise late on, leaving Simeone's charges to edge through into the final four after an uncharacteristically lacklustre display on the road.
Red Bull Salzburg storm back against Lazio to reach Europa League semi-finals
Red Bull Salzburg have reached the semi-finals of the Europa League thanks to an exhilarating 4-1 win over Lazioin Thursday night's quarter-final second leg.
The Austrians had suffered a 4-2 loss in the first leg at the Stadio Olimpico but three goals in the space of four second-half minutes swept the Biancocelesti out of the competition 6-5 on aggregate.
Neither side was able to open the scoring come the break, but Ciro Immobile went on to strike on 55 minutes to seemingly deal a critical blow to Salzburg.
The Italian striker, who had spurned numerous opportunities earlier in the game, sprung the offside trap from a Luis Alberto through-ball and curled an effort into the far top corner from 15 yards.
Rather than let their heads drop, the hosts struck back immediately as Munas Dabbur scored via a deflection off Luiz Felipe and past the bamboozled Thomas Strakosha.
The visitors held firm until the 72nd minute, when Amadou Haidara found the far bottom corner of the net with a long range strike.
Two minutes later, Hwang Hee-chan squeezed home from a tight angle, and another two minutes elapsed before Stefan Lainer thumped a far-post header into the back of the net to complete the remarkable turnaround.
Marseille reach Europa League semi-finals thanks to hammering of RB Leipzig
Marseille have progressed to the semi-finals of the Europa League thanks to a 5-2 quarter-final second-leg win over RB Leipzig.
The opening goal came after just two minutes played as the visitors, who led 1-0 from the first leg, took control of the tie.
Naby Keita cut inside from the right and threaded a pass through to Jean-Kevin Augustin, who in turn found Bruma, and the winger was able to find the back of the net by slotting under Yohann Pele.
Marseille immediately struck back as a corner was poorly cleared, allowing Kostas Mitroglou to slam home via a deflection from Stefan Ilsanker on six minutes.
Just three more minutes elapsed before the hosts took the lead, Morgan Sanson seeing two efforts saved by Peter Gulacsi before Bouna Sarr dispatched a ferocious effort into the top corner.
Marseille continued to dominate and had a goal disallowed on 17 minutes, Dimitri Payet firing home from close range, but the referee awards a free kick to the visitors for a foul in the build-up.
Nevertheless, the Ligue 1 outfit ended the first half with a two-goal cushion, Florian Thauvin besting Gulacsi in the 38th minute with a half-volley from close range.
The pendulum swung back towards Leipzig on 55 minutes, however, as Keita surged into the Marseille box before backheeling the ball to Augustin, who duly curled an effort past Pele.
More twists and turns were to come as Payet got on the scoresheer on the hour mark, collecting Thauvin's pass and weaving into the box before finding the top-left hand corner of the net.
Gulacsi came up for a last-minute corner but was caught out, allowing Hiroki Sakai to burst up the pitch and find the back of an empty net from 30 yards out to make sure of victory.
The final whistle confirmed a 5-3 aggregate win for Marseille, putting them in the final four along with Atletico Madrid, Red Bull Salzburg, and Arsenal.
