David Raya had not been threatened by Viktor Gyokeres or any of the Sporting players.

But on 25 minutes, various fireworks and smoke bombs were set off over the Arsenal penalty area.

The pyrotechnics were not shown by the TNT Sport cameras but commentator Darren Fletcher referenced them.

And he was surprised the referee did not stop play and take the two teams off the field.

Within minutes, clouds of smoke covered the pitch in Lisbon.
