Am I reading this right??? From eurosport.co.uk 42' PASCAL CYGAN TO THE RESCUE!! He puts the ball out for a corner, when the Greeks had broken into the Arsenal box.
Thanks for PBP Ian. My internet is slow as hell today and uefa keeps crapping out. Sounds as if the Gunners are really putting on the pressure. Hope they can keep it up for another 45'.
Arsenal need 2 more to ensure the 3pts. From the sound of the audio it seems Pana are playing back a little and may come forward to equalize in the 2nd half to which arsenal can counter.
From uefa... "Arsenal's lead was gifted them, the Spanish referee spotting an infringement as Bergkamp's free-kick floated safely into Chalkias's gloves. Thierry Henry happily converted the spot kick and the hosts have dominated since without ever really looking like overwhelming their guests."

with beasley scoring the lone goal. Out-sprinted 3 defenders, rounded the keeper, and then slotted the ball home with his right foot...
47th... Fabregas pushes Pires down the left, and Pires gives off to Henry. He pushes the pace, but his cross is overhit for a goal kick.
Based on the uefa text and looking the the stats we don't look very mencing. I am very disappointed in the first half and hope Wenger lights a fire under the collective arses. We really miss Gilberto and need another center defender behind Sol.
Something to remember. From uefa "Despite being ahead, the hosts will be mindful of how they have taken the lead in all their Champions League games this season and held onto their advantage only once." Break the trend Gunners and bring home 3 pts.
49th... Lehmann with an emphatic dive to take a cross away from Papadopoulos after Pana test the right side.
49th... Lehmann then turns the ball upfield and Henry is off to the races. He breaks into the Pana box but cannot center with authority and the Greeks regroup.
