Alexandre Lacazette scored two goals as Arsenal came from behind to the Emirates Stadium to win the first leg of his Europa League semifinal against Valencia.
The head of Mouctar Diakhaby gave the advantage to Valencia before Lacazette seized the pbad of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Frenchman nodded in the center of Granit Xhaka seven minutes later to do it 2-1 before half-time.
And the revival of Aubameyang allowed Arsenal to score two goals ahead of Spain.
Lacazette should have scored a hat trick: he cleared a six-yard lead in the second half and was then denied by goalkeeper Neto twice.
But Arsenal will travel to Valencia for the return leg next Thursday, hoping to avoid a second consecutive defeat in the semifinals after being eliminated by the winner of the Atletico Madrid 's. last year.
