Liverpool 3, Spartak Moskva 1. Wee Michael Owen nets a hat trick, Spartak are the first team eliminated.

Looks like a strong line up we have there. Just wonder when Pires will enter onto the pitch. You can be sure the Highbury Faithful will be going crazy. Oh Yeah happy Birthday Chief(AW).

Well it's a torrential downpour. Auxerre has hand more control of the ball. Water is starting to puddle on the field now.
Down 2-0 at half time with these conditions, Arsenal will be lucky to pull out a tie here.

Auxerre seem to have us bottled up. We're going to have to get some pace in the second half. Maybe Toure?

Kanu gets one back in the 53 minute.

1-2!
53' Henry surges down the right, plays a low cross across goal for Kanu to tap in. Arsenal are back in the match.

Yellow card to Faye for a late challenge on - who else - Vieira. Auxerre seem rattled.

Arsenal is pressing the point and controlling the ball. Really coming out attacking in the second half.

Seaman comes up with a "magnificent" save on Benjani after a giveaway by Cole.

Sounds like Kanu has been the biggest Arsenal offensive threat tonight.

The rain has stopped but the field will still be tough to play on.

PSV have equalized against Dortmund, good news for us. 1-1.

More Arsenal pressure, as Cool does well to punch out Henry's free kick, and Wiltord's ensuing volley is blocked.
