Final score
Arsenal and Marseille drew 0-0 on Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at Emirates Stadium.
Play by play
Arsenal will turn their attention to West Brom at the weekend. Everyone else will hope that the two Manchester clubs give us a bit more entertainment tomorrow night.
Van Persie did not have much of an impact when he came on, but should have won the game for the Gunners when put through. His poor chip was indicative of the Arsenal finishing.
- 93'
<b>FULL-TIME</b>. A tired Arsenal created plenty but lacked the quality of the final ball. Marseille will be happy enough and the 0-0 draw does little damage to hopes of qualification.
- 92'
Probably the last chance of the game.
- 91'
That was bent in perfectly, but it's just too far to Vermaelen to reach.
- 91'
Vermaelen has a go, and it comes back to Van Persie. A great ball in, but noone could get on the end of it.
- 90'
Lucho brings down Song and this in the range of RVP. It's a long way out, but he will surely line it up.
- 89'
OM fans are the ones making the noise. They will be happier with the result for sure. Although there was a late goal in the first leg.
- 88'
Rosicky feeds Walcott, but the ball across is a poor one. Rosicky brings his man down again and may be lucky to still be on the pitch after already being booked.
- 87'
Van Persie loses the ball again and he's looked a shadow of his weekend self.
- 86'
Mandanda punches from under his own crossbar. He's been commanding from set pieces and the Gunners haven't really had a sniff.
- 85'
Arshavin feeds Van Persie, who spins away and has a cross blocked. A chance from a corner now...
- 84'

- 83'
Good chance to break for Arsenal, but Rosicky doesn't have the pace.
- 81'
Amalfitano again down the right and Arteta is tracking him back and tugging his shirt. He still gets a cross in and Mertesacker does well to clear it away from goal.
- 81'
Amalfitano has seen a lot of the ball and gets another chance. This time he gets a shot away but it is dragged across the box and wide.
- 80'
Andre Ayew heads wide from the back of the box. Was a hard one to control.
- 79'
Amalfitano slips it between Santos' legs, but Mertesacker clears and then heads away when it bounces up. Vermaelen then does very well to deal with Ayew - a crunching tackle.
- 77'
N'Koulou gets back well to stop Walcott's run. That could have been dangerous.
- 77'
Best chance of the game bar none.
- 77'
Great ball from Rosicky puts Van Persie away. He is through, but his confidence is too much and he tries a cute dink over the keeper which fails to come off.
- 76'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Gervinho off, Arshavin on.
- 75'
Song heads clear from a free-kick and the Gunners at least look solid at the back.
- 74'
Good work from Jenkinson on the right, first with the header and then with the tackle on Ayew.
