68
Substitution CHANGE: Smiljanic for Petrovic
67
WILSHERE INTO THE AREA: Wilshere wriggles way through two tackles and tries to shift the ball onto his left foot but is met by a great challenge from Savic. Promising play from the youngster
65
GREAT PLAY FROM GIBBS: The full back skips past a challenge and dinks the ball towards the back post where Chamakh is just beaten to the ball by Krstajic. That was very unlucky - the young English defender produced a teasing ball into the box
64
CLEO BATTLING WELL: He chases down Sagna and wins the ball with a great sliding tackle which really gets he fans behind their team
61
TACTICS: Partizan have gone to a more narrow formation to try and stop Arsenal having too much possession and they substitution will help that

53

47
WILSHERE DOWN: He receives a strong arm to the face from Stevanovic and the pair battled for the ball. He is back on his feet and back in action
46
ARSENAL ATTACKING STRAIGHT AWAY: A really positive start to the second half from the men in yellow. Partizan fail to clear on two occasions and the ball finds its way to Rosicky on the right hand side of the area. He hits a low shot goalwards but his effort is too central and keeper Stojkovic makes a routine save
Kick Off ARSENAL KICK OFF THE SECOND HALF
45
Arsenal were very impressive up until Cleo's goal, keeping possession well and creating numerous chances. But they couldn't find a second and 1-1 is the score at the break
Half Time AND THERE GOES THE HALF-TIME WHISTLE: Arsenal were on top early on but the goal really gave Partizan belief and this could go either way in the second half
45
ARSHAVIN CROSSES RIGHT ACCROSS GOAL: The Russian gets to the byline and agonizingly crosses but there is no one there to turn the ball in
44
THE GOAL HAS REALLY CHANGED THE GAME: The emphasis of the game has swung here. Partizan have gained in confidence and are enjoying much more possession
44
CHAMAKH BROUGH DOWN: Arshavin takes it quickly and Song gives away possession cheaply
42
AMBITIOUS FROM PARTIZAN: From all of 30 yards their skipper has a shot that goes harmlessly over
37
FREE KICK IN A DANGEROUS POSITION: Arshavin dribbles past Stevanovic who brings down the Russian on the corner of the penalty area. Arshavin crossed and Stojkovic punches clear
36
HEADER FROM CHAMAKH: Wilshere finds himself in space on the left and picks out a great lofted cross from Chamakh who just jumps a little early and heads the ball away from goal. He was unmarked there but couldn’t direct his header towards gaol
33

32
GOAL! - Cleo 1 : 1 SCORED BY CLEO: Right footed.. Cleo sends Fabianski the wrong way. 1-1
31
PENALTY: Denislon handles in the area after a cross from the left and the penalty is given! That looked harsh
30
CAN PARTIZAN WEATHER THE STORM? Arsenal are really on top here and look dangerous with every attack
28
DENILSON WASTES A FREE KICK: After the ball was cleared Arshavin was fouled and the referee gave a free kick right on the edge of the area but Denilson can't capitalise
27
OFF THE LINE: Jovanovic clears from under the crossbar. Chamakh wins the ball in the air and Arshavin runs beyond the striker and dinks the ball over the onrushing keeper. It was heading towards goal before Jovanovic hacked away
26
CHANCE FOR ARSENAL AGAIN:Rosikcy cuts in from the right and is played in by a really intelligent ball from Arshavin. Rosicky runs one-on-one with Stojkovic who spread himself well and saves with his feet.
24
WILSHERE AND ARSHAVIN LINKING UP AGAIN: Great interchange by the two Arsenal men on the edge of the area result in the Russian being played through on goal by Wilshere. A good tackle from Jovanovic denies him the chance to shoot. Really promising play from Arsenal though
23
GREAT FOOTBALL FROM ARSENAL: Wilshere runs down the right and plays the ball inside into Arshavin who has a chance to shoot from eight yards out but chooses to square for Chamakh and the ball is cut out. Should he have shot there?
22
ARSENAL ATTACKING: Chamakh holds the ball up well but can’t find a team mate and Arsenal lose possession.
20
ARSENAL WINNING THE MIDFIELD BATTLE: Wislhere, Song and Denilson are dominating the game from the middle of the park as Arsenal are starting to stamp their authority on the game
19
NEEDLESS CORNER TO GIVE AWAY: Sagna crosses into the box and with no Arsenal player in sight Stevanovic heads behind for a corner. Though it comes to nothing as Partizan clear
17
PARTIZAN LOOK SHAKEN BY THAT GOAL: They struggle to keep possession for any period of time as Arsenal are constantly pressing
16
Adrian Clarke: 'That was the pefect time to score a goal'
14
GOAL! - Andrey Arshavin 0 : 1 Great finish from Arshavin! Wilshere ran into the box after a playing a neat one-two with the Russian before Arshavin drills the ball into the bottom of the net from seven yards. That was a great backheel from Wilshere to set up Arshavin
14
GOAL: 1-0 ARSENAL
14
DANGEROUS PLAY FROM CLEO: Djourou is caught in possession deep in his own half by the striker. Cleo runs at goal as slices his shot wide

11
HANDBALL IN THE AREA: Wilshere crosses and it hits a Partizan hand. Wilshere appeals though that would have been harsh
10
FABIANSKI ON HIS TOES: Squillaci tries to head back to his keeper but the back pass is short of pace and Clea nearly nicks in but Fabianski is quick off his line to deny the striker.
8
VITAL TACKLE FROM DENILSON: Clea attacks down the left and created a chance for himself as he turns Squillaci before pulling the ball back for an on running midfielder. Denilson running at full pace makes a great sliding tackle to rebuff any danger. If he mis-times that it could be penalty
6
PENALTY SHOUT: Boya goes down under a challenge from Squillaci but the referee isn’t having any of it. He turned well in the area and went down – but nothing from referee Stark
4
PARTIZAN ATTACKING: Crossed in from the left and Gibbs fails to clear with any conviction. The ball finds its way to Cleo on the edge of the area and he has the first shot of the night that trickles safely into the arms on Fabianski
4
Adrian Clarke: 'Partizan are going to be tough to break down tonight'
3
FREE KICK IN A DANGEROUS POSITION: Whipped in by Wilshere and glanced out of play for a goal kick by Sagna. The defender just couldn’t direct his header goalwards
2
FOUL FROM SQUILLACI: He is judged to have jumped unfairly against Cleo and the referee blows for the first free kick of the night
