Play by play
- 92'
Arseal cruise through. Celtic tried hard but the unjust penalty took the fight out of them. Eduardo should be ashamed of himself. After that though, the home side looked good value for their money spinning Champions League entry. Bye for now.
- 92'
That was the last kick of the game too!
- 90'
At last, something to cheer the Celtic fans. Hinkel crosses to the back post and Donati smashes a brilliant left footed volley in off the post!
- 90'
GOAL! Donati!
- 89'
Flood makes a great brek forward but Fortune's ball for him is overhit, mich to the teenager's disgust.
- 88'
Celtic should have scored. Flood curls in a delightful cross and Naylor jumps too early at the back post and mistimes his header. Shame.
- 86'
Hinkel now intervenes as Arshavin was about to make it four. Ramsey is still suffering from his early injury it looks like.
- 85'
Wilsihre and Denilson look to get round the back as Arsenal break but O'Dea tidies up.
- 83'
Wilshire piles into Flood and then Denilson and Brown have a little shoving match. They've lost their discipline after the controversial opening goal.
- 81'
Bendtner is penalised for a shoulder charge on O'Dea when it looked 50/50.
- 80'
Celtic have barely got into Arsenal's half in the last ten minutes.
- 78'
Celtic are all over the place here, Ramsey gets in down the right channel and has the freedom of the Emirates to run right at Boruc and get a shot away. The keeper saves.
- 76'
Wilshire nearly puts Arshavin through again! Loovens gets in the way.
- 74'
Denilson nicks the ball away from Flood, feeds Arshavin, he swaps touches with Ramsey before rifling a shot into the bottom corner. Great football.
- 74'
GOAL! Arshavin!
- 72'
Arsenal changes: Eduardo and Eboue come off and Arshavin and 19-year-old Jack Wilshire are on.
- 71'
Fox takes a Celtic corner and Song nods clear. Naylor flashes a volley across the goal but it was at least ten yards wide.
- 70'
The cameras again pick out Fergie but he seems engrossed in his crackberry. Not even watching the game!
- 69'
Ramsey is back on his feet and hobbling around. The game has reverted to 'Sunday afternoon kickabout in the park' intensity.
- 67'
Blackpool now lead Wigan 4-0!!
- 65'
Ramsey is down holding his shin. He looks in a bit of pain.
- 63'
A lovely flick from Denilson puts Vermaelen in down the left side but his cross is blocked. Impudent skill that.
- 62'
Fortune is loitering a mile offside as Flood looks to play him in. Not a good night for the former West Brom front man.
- 61'
Substitutions for Celtic, McGeady and Maloney are coming off to be replaced by Lee Naylor and Willo Flood. Diaby is off and Ramsey is on for the home side.
- 59'
Celtic are getting chunky here. Brown powers into Diaby, who looks for a minute like he may swing a haymaker in return.
