Arsenal vs Sevilla

1. 90'

   Arsenal complete a convincing victory over difficult opponents Sevilla to make the perfect start to their Champions League campaign. They rode their luck at times and Sevilla wasted fine chances. But Arsenal controlled much of the game and clinically finished off the Spaniards with goals from Fabregas, Van Persie and Eduardo.

2. 90'

   FULL-TIME: ARSENAL 3-0 PORTO

3. 88'

   What a way to finish it! Eduardo grabs a late goal to seal a confident performance from the hosts. Slick passing from Hleb and Fabregas eventually sees Eduardo round off the superb move.

   GOAL: ARSENAL 3-0 PORTO

5. 85'

   Sagna is forced to clear with Kerzhakov bearing down on him. The throw in finds Alves on the edge of the D and his doesn?t miss by much with a fierce low drive.

6. 85'

   Alves has been at the forefront of everything Sevilla have created down the right-hand side but Clichy has been a worthy match for him at left-back.

7. 83'

   Final change for the Gunners as goalscorer Van Persie makes way for Lassana Diarra who makes his Arsenal debut.

8. 82'

   Arsenal under siege at the moment with crosses coming in from both flanks but so far the hosts are holding firm.

9. 79'

   Very dangerous spell for Sevilla. Two chance in as many minutes as Renato fires a 25-yard effort five yards over the bar.

10. 79'

    Terrific chance for Kanoute to set up a grandstand finish. The ball fell kindly to him on the edge of the box and he half volleyed inches wide.

11. 76'

    Arsenal make a change and introduce Eduardo for the excellent Adebayor. He?s worked tirelessly this evening and receives a warm applause.

12. 76'

    Poor decision from the linesman sees Kanoute given offside when he was clearly level. Real let-off for Arsenal, not sure how many more of those they'll get.

13. 74'

    By the way, Manchester United are 1-0 up in their tie in Lisbon. Cristiano Ronaldo has netted on his return to his boyhood club.

14. 73'

    Alves takes it but Van Persie heads clear. Wasted delivery from the talented right-back.

15. 72'

    Almunia comes out to smother a long ball aimed for Kanoute. A goal is certainly not beyond Sevilla's means and they've been handed a free-kick on the edge of the box. This could be dangerous.

16. 70'

    Sagna is getting it all his own way down the right and stands up a cross to the back post for Van Persie who arrives late and slides in his shot. The keeper gets across and palms behind.

17. 69'

    But up the other end Adebayor almost puts the game beyond doubt. Sagna drove down the right and clipped a pin-point cross in for the striker who glanced his header agonisingly wide. Fine, flowing move from the hosts.

18. 68'

    Sevilla dominating at the moment and Arsenal have dropped deeper than any time in the match. That's inviting Sevilla to come at the Gunners and try their luck.

19. 67'

    They've looked shaky in defence all night have Arsenal, and Ramos may have seen a way through.

20. 66'

    This should mix things up for the visitors. Ramos will be hoping for the new boys to spring a few surprises on this defence.

21. 65'

    Double switch for Sevilla. Capel and Marti come off for Renato and Keita.

22. 64'

    Nervy moment for Arsenal and they escape. A bobbling cross is poorly defended and Sevilla are almost gifted a goalscoring chance.

23. 63'

    The home fans have perked up considerably and it looks like Ramos will make a change to try and quieten the raucous crowd.

24. 61'

    Arsenal are certainly buoyed by their second but will need to stay switched on for the remaining 30 minutes.

25. 60'

    He hasn't done an awful lot tonight, but Van Persie was in the right place a the right time to steer in Arsenal's second.
