Play by play
- 92'
And that's it. Arsenal have won with a late goal. They haven't played well, but they got the result and they're through to the next phase.
- 91'
Song went close with a shot, but they're just trying to play the clock down now. This will be a much needed boost for Wenger's men.
- 89'
Not a good night for the Kiev man.
- 88'
Aliev is off. He's said something. The Kiev players are surrounding the ref, having to haul the player away. After his cheating earlier, it's not more than he deserves. It looks like he tried to move the ref out of the way.
- 86'
Surely that's the knockout stages now for Arsenal. No goals in the past two games, but that's broken the duck.
- 86'
Terrific ball from Fabregas and the Dane took it wide and smashed it right into the corner of the net with his left foot.
- 86'
GOAL! Knockout punch from Bendtner.
- 85'
Well timed tackle from Gallas and now Djourou is down injured after landing right on it. Ouch.
- 84'
Clichy sprays a desperate ball across the pitch. Not much pace, or cutting edge from the Gunners tonight.
- 83'
Bangoura tries some skill on the touchline but runs the ball out of play.
- 82'
A goalless draw will do it for Arsenal, but only if Fenerbahce don't come back against Porto.
- 81'
Djourou just can't get on the end of a sliding ball from Fabregas, or he would have been away down the right.
- 80'
Excellent control from Denilson, but again there's a blue shirt in the way. Wilshere drops the shoulder and so nearly slips the ball through to Van Persie.
- 79'
Both sides want a winner. At the moment, it could be either.
- 78'
Great ball from Van Persie. Right across the area and where was Bendtner? He was on his ankles and had a really good chance to score there.
- 77'
Good save from the keeper who has had nothing to do all game.
- 76'
Milevskiy finds a gap, the ball is floated over and he finds himself in the box. Almunia out quickly and makes a erally good save. That should liven things up a bit!
- 75'
Very hopeful long ball up to Van Persie. This does not look the Arsenal way. Vela coming off, Wilshere on. Youngest ever European debutant.
- 74'
Jack Wilshere coming on now. And this could lift the side.
- 73'
Vela gives it away and there's no rhythm at all to the game now. Possession is being squandered far too easily.
- 73'
Milevskiy with a lovely touch to Ghioane and that was close too. Just offside, but the linesman looks to be giving the benefit of doubt to the home side.
- 72'
Bangoura is through, no offside. Boy that was close, Clichy was probably just playing him onside.
- 70'
Vela and Van Persie trying hard to break the deadlock, but Vela hacks down Diakhate as he tries to get the ball back.
- 69'
Aliev was guilty of some shocking behaviour. Writhing around on the floor, he looks up, sees Kiev have the ball and jumps to his feet.
- 69'
Bendtner has pink boots on. Words fail me.
