Kieran Tierney netted a stunning equaliser for Arsenal in their Europa League clash with Benfica this evening.
The former Celtic defender took a Willian pass under control, turned inside his marker and lashed an unstoppable drilled finish beyond Helton in the Benfica goal.
KT's effort pulled the game back to 2-2 after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's opener was levelled by Diogo Goncalves before Rafa Silva turned the game on its head.
A lifeline for Arsenal from Kieran Tierney!
