Arsenal vs Internazionale

Hector Cuper's side were excellent, the referee was excellent, Arsenal weren't and they will have to pick themselves up after that result.

Inter become the first Italian team to win at Highbury, with a convincing 3-0 win over Arsenal.

The ref blows the final whistle and the Arsenal players are greeted by both jeers and cheers.

...the striker bends his shot past Lehmann but it strikes the post and the ball spins out to Martins, who shoots high and wide from a tight angle.

Kallon plays a give and go with Zanetti that's too quick for the Gunners defenders and Kallon only has Lehmann to beat.....

Kanu has proved a handful since his introduction but he was guilty of squandering the Arsenal's best chance.

Bergamp turns Cannavaro and springs an Arsenal attack. Kanu drives into the box and strikes a shot from wide on the right that Toldo blocks at his near post.

Bergkamp fires off a low long-range shot but Toldo saves without too much trouble.

Cannavaro slices a clearance and Zanetti is allowed to head the ball clear without Arsenal putting in a challenge.

Martins hits the deck with a dramatic cry, under a challenge from Vieri. The ref isn't fooled, he gives the freekick and tells Martins to get up.

...the French striker eventually whips the ball over the wall but Toldo shows a safe pair of hands in the Inter goal.
