<b>Arsenal 6-0 Braga.</b> A real statement of intent from the Gunners with a performance that oozed class from every pore. Two from Fabrgeas, two from Vela and one each for Arshavin and Chamakh. Wilshere and Fabregas looked irresistible in central midfield and Arsenal's penetration was a far cry from Manchester United's inability to break through last night. Wenger's side could well be contenders.

Lima tries an optimistic effort from 30 yards and the ball has gone as high as the Peruvian capital that shares his name.

<b>Arsenal 6-0 Braga</b>Wilshere with a superb pass over to Fabregas. He was through but despite being on a hat-trick, spotted Vela on his left and passed it unselfishly to his team-mate who side-footed home from seven yards out.

15 minutes left, can Braga emerge from this game with any credit? Lima hasn't had a sniff since he came on. Alan is their only player who can emerge from the second period with any sort of credit - he's looked lively.
- 75'
Eboue has it back and searches for Fabregas but his pass from the right wing is underhit.
- 74'
Eboue drives Arsenal forward and the ball is out to Clichy now on the left.

The Braga players look completely deflated - and so they should. Arsenal's biggest Champions League win was 7-0 against Slavia Prague, can they equal it?!
