Larsson wondergoal settles the Moscow Derby to revive Spartak’s Champions League hopes

Spartak Moscow 1-0 CSKA Moscow
Sunday 25 April, Otkritie Arena

Goal: Spartak - Larsson (52)
Sent off: CSKA - Akhmetov (38)
Man of the Match: Jordan Larsson (Spartak)

Jordan Larsson's sensational solo goal was the difference in the Moscow Derby against 10-man CSKA. Soon after the break he picked up the ball near the halfway line with seemingly little on, before burning his markers on the outside, cutting back in before disguising a clever finish into the near corner.

Izlat Akhmetov had been sent off before the break for a challenge with his studs on the touchline, and CSKA never quite managed to recover, failing to register a single shot on target.

Spartak stay third on 50 points and close the gap to Lokomotiv to two points, while CSKA stay sixth on 46 points.
