Play by play
- 90'
Great credit to FC Thun, they came here reading about a spanking and showed that organisation and belief can sometimes be a match for the big pros
- 90'
It was the dead onj 91 minutes that Bergkamp found the winner, they didn't really deserve it but the game is all about goals, of course
- 90'
And that's it! Arsenal take the three points!
- 90'
It's hard to see how he actually managed to win the ball, but he did and Arsenal can now celebrate a lucky, lucky escape
- 90'
Amazing scenes! The Arsenal legend Bergkamp won the ball on the penalty spot and kept his calm to slide a shot past the onrushing Jakupovic
- 90'
GOAL!!!
- 90'
A hopeful ball is lumped into the box towards Bergkamp. The Dutch master controls the ball and somehow wins it from Milicevic...
- 90'
Into stoppage time now with the referee adding on three minutes
- 90'
It comes back to Campbell 15 yards out but his shot is, unsurprisingly, high, wide and hansom
- 89'
Corner to Arsenal, it's worked to Pires and his powerful drive is hacked away by Orman from in front of his goalkeeper
- 88'
...the ball drifts inches wide of Jakupovic's left-hand post, so close
- 88'
Bergkamp finally takes the free-kick and lofts it to the far post. Toure comes in with a run and wins the header...
- 87'
A final change for Thun as Mauro Lustrinelli is off and on comes Omar Pape Faye
- 86'
Cole is pulled back by Ferreira just outside the box and gets a yellow card for his troubles
- 85'
Gilberto is off the field for treatment to join Orman in the head-bandage club. It's just like a little party for the Mr Bump Appreciation Society
- 84'
Lustrinelli tries a shot from 25 yards out - it was a ambitious effort and miles wide
- 83'
Gilberto clashes with Gonçalves and goes down holding his head. The Arsenal man is bleeding from above his eys - Gonçalves definitely threw back an arm and should at least have got his second yellow of the game, if not a straight red
- 82'
Hleb bursts forward but holds onto the ball for too long and is robbed
- 81'
Have Arsenal run out of steam? Unless the fresh legs can add something new you cannot see them scoring again tonight
- 80'
Arsenal will make a double change now, Jose Antonio Reyes and Freddie Ljungberg make way for Aliaksandr Hleb and Quincy Owusu-Abeyie
- 79'
Another snap shot, this time from Bernardi, which is again straight at Almunia
- 78'
Leandro produces a powerful snap shot from the left flank - straight at Almunia but it could easily have surprised the goalkeeper
- 77'
Ferreira does very well down the right and tries to pick out Leandro in the box - Campbell is there highest to head to safety
- 76'
Gelson is felled by Gilberto. It's a free-kick and they'll milk the time wasting now
- 75'
It's all Arsenal now, Thun happy to hold out for the point with the extra man
