Arsenal completed a resounding 9-3 aggregate victory over PSV Eindhoven to set up a mouthwatering Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid.
Holders Real beat capital rivals Atletico Madrid on penalties and Arsenal will likely have to find top gear against the Spanish giants in the last eight after cruising past their Dutch opponents.
Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has found himself on the periphery at times, picked up possession from Raheem Sterling's touch inside and whipped a superb effort into the left corner.
However, any thoughts of the floodgates opening and Arsenal eclipsing Bayern Munich's record 12-1 thrashing of Sporting over two legs at the same stage of the competition in 2008-09, did not come to fruition.
Ivan Perisic found the top-right corner from Guus Til's pass to give the visitors a deserved equaliser.
And while Myles Lewis-Skelly hit the post for the home side at 1-1 and a brilliant Sterling run and cross from the right allowed Declan Rice to head Arsenal back in front, they were unable to pull clear.
PSV restored some pride when Couhaib Driouech collected Isaac Babadi's incisive pass to chip over the oncoming home goalkeeper David Raya and ensure they left London with a merited draw.
