Arsenal beats Sporting Lisbon on Havertz's late goal in Champions League quarterfinals

Kai Havertz scored in stoppage time to give Arsenal a 1-0 win in the first leg of its Champions League quarterfinal against Sporting Lisbon. The substitute fired past goalkeeper Rui Silva from close range at Estadio Jose Alvalade to give Mikel Arteta’s team the advantage ahead of next week’s second leg at the Emirates. In Tuesday’s other quarterfinal Bayern Munich beat Real Madrid 2-1 at the Bernabeu. Havertz settled a tight game of few chances in Lisbon by combining with fellow substitute Gabriel Martinelli. The German controlled the ball in the box and then side-footed into the net to hand Sporting its first loss at home since August.
