The Portuguese star found the back of the net from 47 yards to put his side level at the Emirates.

The 24-year-old, who previously enjoyed a spell at Wolverhampton, marked his 17th goal this season in spectacular fashion as he beat Aaron Ramsdale from distance.

Granit Xhaka had earlier put the Gunners ahead with a 19th minute effort.

This wasn't the first time that Goncalves has proved problematic for the Gunners, with the player bagging an assist in the first-leg of the round-of-16 tie.

The Portugal international has now scored 55 goals in 117 appearances for the Lions.

Goncalves had endured a four-match goalless run ahead of the trip to North London.

The player has been linked with a move to Aston Villa in recent days, with Unai Emery's side set to launch a bid for the former Wolves man. However, the Villans are likely to face stiff competition for the midfielder who stole the headlines in Thursday's Europa League clash.
