Play by play
- 92'
That's the final whistle. A good performance from Arsenal and some stunning goals. Bendtner will get the plaudits but Nasri was particularly good. They go through, Porto go home.
- 91'
GOAL! Bendtner gets his first ever hat trick for Arsenal with a lovely penalty.
- 90'
Bendtner is over it after Fucile brought down Eboue...
- 89'
PENALTY TO ARSENAL!
- 88'
Meireles tries another shot but again it is very optimistic.
- 86'
Viola still searching for a goal in Florence. Five minutes left there.
- 84'
Walcott tries a wildly ambitious effort on his left but gets it all wrong. This game is petering out now...
- 83'
Bendtner has reverted to type. Song crosses, he rises well but can't get it on target. Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh there, it was coming at him quickly.
- 82'
Rodriguez passes the ball neatly out of play there. Good technique though.
- 81'
Vermaelen stops a mazy Falcao run in its tracks. He's been good tonight. As good as Campbell has been poor.
- 79'
Lovely turn from Song and a nice looking ball for Walcott but Pereira gets there first to concede a corner.
- 77'
The two subs combine as Denilson feeds Walcott. He tries to replicate his goal against Burnley and isn't far off, but Bruno Alves gets in the way to deflect it behind.
- 76'
Arsenal change: Arshavin off to a standing ovation and Walcott on.
- 75'
Porto changes: Varela and Micael go off and Guarin and Gonzalkez comes on.
- 74'
Arsenal are sitting deep now and allowing Porto to come onto them. A bit of a role reversal from the opening stages.
- 73'
More cracking work from Arshavin down the left as he gets into the area and stands one up for Sagna to hit on the half volley but he couldn't keep it down.
- 72'
Nasri comes off to a huge ovation and Denilson comes on.
- 71'
This has reverted into an Arsenal training session now. Porto need three goals in 20 minutes to go through. Hmm.
- 70'
Looks like Walcott is ebing readied on the sidelines.
- 68'
Meireles goes past Nasri and Vermaelen comes out of nowhere to block his shot. Good defending.
- 67'
How quickly things can turn. Porto had been the better side in this second half, then Arsenal score two world class goals in the space of three minutes. I love this game.
- 66'
Another truly brilliant goal from Arsenal. What a dazzling counter attack! Arshavin gets the ball in his own half after a Porto corner, dribbles upfield and slips a lovely ball to Eboue who rounds the 'keeper and scores. Game over.
- 66'
GOAL! Eboue!
- 64'
An amazing goal burst in Florence too. Viola went 3-1 up before Robben blasts in a beauty just seconds later to swing the tie in Bayern's favour.
- 63'
What a sensational goal! Nasri's close control there was astonishing. He starts wide on the right and mesmerises three defenders before getting into the area and slamming home from a tight angle. Just brilliant.
