Play by play
- 90'
The Gunners could easily have had more, they were so superior. Now only a fool would back against them.
- 90'
An amazing game at Highbury. Arsenal take two goals to Turin, while Juve will be without Vieira, Zebina and Camorenesi due to suspension
- 90'
And that's full-time.
- 90'
Now Chiellini drags back Hleb, clueless at what to do with the Arsenal man
- 90'
It's Pires who takes - but it's straight down the throat of Buffon
- 90'
Hleb is brought down on the edge of the D. One more chance for a third - surely Henry to take
- 90'
Two minutes of injury time pain for Juve
- 89'
Zebina had clearly forgotten he'd been yellow carded - he looks as foolish as his play has suggested
- 88'
Now Zebina hacks Henry to the floor. And it's a second yellow card - he's off! Juve go down to nine and if it was embarrassing before now it's a disgrace
- 87'
Now Arsenal are facing ten downtrodden players. Can they snatch a third?
- 86'
Cameronesi hacks Van Persie to the ground with a crude and very late challenge. It could have been a straight red but it is a second yellow. He's off to complete a miserable night for Juve
- 85'
Henry completely does Vieira on the left and is seemingly at the byline at the blink of an eye, the low cross is cut out though
- 84'
Lehmann scurries across the face of goal, isn't getting there but the ball just drifts past his right-hand post. Very close
- 83'
Henry gives the ball away just outside his own D, Camoranesi is alive to the opportunity and tries a chipped shot...
- 82'
Arsenal make a change now, Robin van Persie returns from injury in place of Jose Antonio Reyes
- 81'
Reyes looks to break from Lehmann's throw. Zebina blocks his path and becomes the latest from Juve to enter the referee's notebook
- 80'
The game finally seems to have calmed down, maybe Arsenal are looking to settle for a two-goal advantage?
- 79'
A second change for Juve now, as David Trezeguet is replaced by Marcelo Zalayeta. How they need him to produce an away goal now
- 78'
Now Thuram and Emerson get it all wrong and gift a throw-in to the Gunners. It's getting embarrassing for Juve now
- 77'
Free-kick to Arsenal, fed down the right for Eboue whose dangerous cross is knocked behind for a corner. Arsenal make nothing of it
- 76'
A change for Juventus as the ineffectual Adrian Mutu is replaced by Giorgio Chiellini - a necessary defensive move
- 75'
It's Reyes who opts for it with his left, but it bounces in front of Buffon and into his gloves
- 74'
Henry turns on the edge of the box, looking to despatch another shot - the floored Thuram drags him down. A free-kick just outside of the D bu amazingly no card for such a cynical foul
- 73'
The Arsenal fans are now giving the 'ole' as their heroes stroke the ball around Highbury.
- 72'
Henry outstrips Zebina and Cannavaro has to come across to rescue the situation with a sliding challenge. Desperate stuff
