Arsenal beat Napoli to reach Europa League semi-finals

NAPLES: Alexandre Lacazette scored the only goal as Arsenal beat Napoli 1-0 on Thursday to advance to the Europa League semi-finals 3-0 on aggregate.

Lacazette's stunning 36th-minute freekick put the English club through to a final four meeting against Spanish side Valencia.

The exit of Carlo Ancelotti's Napoli means no Italian clubs are left in European competition this season.
