Two lovely goals – one in the first half, for Dortmund, scored by Karim Adeyemi, and one in the second half, for Lille, by Hakon Haraldsson – left this tie beautifully poised for next Wednesday's return in northern France. BVB dominated the early part of the match, taking a deserved lead, but the physical effort they expended in the first 60 seemed to cost them in the final 30, the visitors taking over to force a well-earned draw.

DORTMUND WERE BETTER IN THE FIRST HALF

EEESH
Gross lunges into one, taking a bit of the ball and catching Diakite with studs into metatarsus. He's booked.
90+1'
SCHLOTTERBECK CHIPS ONE FORWARD
And Guirassy can take this down ... but his touch is a little loose and the opportunity vanishes.
90'
WE'LL HAVE FOUR ADDITIONAL MINUTES
Dortmund could use a goal.
89'
LILLE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED WITH 1-1
If that's how this finishes. With their home crowd behind them, I quite fancy them in the second leg.
87'
WOW
Calafiori has made it PSV 1-7 Arsenal.
87'
I WONDER
If Dortmund oprted to sit back then, when Lille scored, found they didn't have enough left in the tank to get themselves going again.
85'
DAVID'S PLAYED WELL IN THE SECOND HALF
He nips in front of Can, who doesn't see him coming, but the ball takes him away from goal. So he looks for Haraldson, running past him, the move not quite coming off.

TRPLE CHANGE FOR DORTMUND
Brant, Ryerson and Svensson off – and he walks, which is promising; Bensebaini, Reyna and Couto on. Andre Gomes is repreived.
81'
OH DEAR
Pulled back by Andre Gomes, who also treads on his achilles, Svensson kind of goes over his own knee and he's in a lot of pain, crying out. He's treated while VAR wonders if Gomes, who knows what it is to be accidentally seriously injured, should be sent off. My sense is not.
79'
LILLE LOOK LIKELIER
If not exactly likely. Dortmund have created almost nothing this half, their momentum and intensity gone. And Haraldson again darts in behind, Schlotterbeck sliding into a challenge and winning a goalkick – to the striker's horror. There's then a brief check to see if a ball hit a hand; it did not.
77'
DOUBLE CHANGE FOR LILLE
Ismaily and Mukau off, Andre Gomes and Bakker on.
77'
GOSH
In Eindhoven, Odegaard has scored again and Arsenal lead 6-1.
76'
IAN DARKE ON THE LILLE GOAL
"Splendid move from Lille, who bite back and bite back hard."

75'
ISMAILY HAS VENTURED FORWARD MORE OFTEN THIS HALF
And he plays into David, but a stray foot sends the ball spinning and the control os off.
73'
A LONG BALL OUT OF DEFENCE FROM ALEXSANDRO
And Fernandez-Pardo is after it through the middle. But Schlotterrbeck does really well to get betwen man and goal, then levering himself in between man and ball.

CHANGE FOR LILLE
Fernandez-Pardo replaces Mbappe.
