Gyökeres and Alvarez on spot as VAR controversy denies Arsenal at Atlético

Arsenal drew 1-1 with Atlético Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final, in a match dominated by penalty drama. Viktor Gyökeres and Álvarez each scored from the spot for their respective sides, while a late penalty award to Arsenal was overturned by VAR after referee Danny Makkelie reviewed David Hancko's challenge on substitute Eberechi Eze in the 78th minute. The second leg is scheduled for the following Tuesday in London.
