Aaron Ramsey is pleased to have scored a brace in Arsenal's 4-1 Europa League win over CSKA Moscow and believes that he could have had a hat-trick on another day.

Aaron Ramsey has declared himself pleased with his brace for Arsenal against CSKA Moscow and believes that he could have scored a hat-trick.

The Gunners ran out 4-1 winners in Thursday night's Europa League quarter-final first leg against the Russian giants, with Alexandre Lacazette also claiming two goals for the hosts.

Ramsey opened the scoring with a side-footed finish on nine minutes but his second strike - an instinctive volleyed flick - was especially noteworthy.

"We knew the home leg would be important, we had to score goals, thankfully we did that," the Welshman told BT Sport at full time.

"We know it will be difficult in Russia [for the return leg on April 12], but we have put ourselves in a good position.

"I like to make those late runs into the box, I had plenty of opportunities but I am glad I was able to contribute to the team, on another day I might have got a third.

"I saw the goalkeeper coming [for the second goal] so knew if I got it over him I had a good chance of scoring, thankfully I did. We've managed to score quite a few goals lately, hopefully that will continue until the end of the season."

Ramsey has scored nine goals for Arsenal in all competitions this term, as well as registering 10 assists.
