Play by play
- 93'
That's that! Arsenal rescue a point, but only just! A last gasp Gallas strike earns them a point, after a dubious penalty decision had put them behind. ALl in all, not a bad result, but not a great performance especially at the back. Until next time...
- 92'
Asatiani is on for the injured Yussuf too. Three minutes added time, and Diakhate has been carded for some backchat.
- 91'
Kiev change; Artem Kravets is coming on for the hapless Bangoura, who could have sewn the game up when he had a two-on-one break but chose to look like a twit instead.
- 90'
Kiev try to hit back with Yussuf but Almunia is equal to his shot. Arsenal pushing for a winner!
- 89'
The ball is spread wide, Walcott fires it in low and though Adebayor half hits it towards goal, Gallas finishes off from two yards at the back post!
- 89'
Goal! Gallas!
- 88'
Bangoura shows what a clown he is! He had a two on one break, and a simple ball would have released Akiev but he fluffed it!
- 87'
Tidy footwork from Adebayor but he can't release any of his pals. The game is hugely stretched at present, as you'd expect. Walcott tries to cross but Nesmachnly gets in the way. Corner.
- 85'
Denilson pumps the ball into the box, as Arsenal had men over, but his ball is poor and the whistle goes for offside too.
- 84'
Adebayor rises high and claims a free header but Bugosh catches on his line. Arsenal's last change; Carlos Vela comes on for Van Persie.
- 83'
Adebayor and then Van Persie lay-off to Denilson but his shot is deflected wide.
- 82'
Vukojevic launches a horrendous challenge on Walcott and is booked. Walcott didn't like that at all. Free kick.
- 81'
Adebayor sidesteps Nesmachnly and crosses but Diakhate knocks it back to his keeper from eight yards out on the chest. Very cool.
- 80'
Bendtner slips Walcott in but though his touch inside the defender is good it just rolls out of play before he can reach it.
- 78'
Another Arsenal change. Sagna makes way for Eboue.
- 77'
Still goalless at Old Trafford. Tevez just had a shot cleared off the line though, and Ronaldo is on.
- 76'
Adebayor wastes decent possession for Arsenal with plenty of men up in support. They've shrunk since the goal have Arsenal.
- 75'
Kiev have grown in stature since the goal and Arsenal are ragged at the back. Toure makes a vital tackle on Betao, then Bangours picks it up, and shoots into the side netting. Imagine my surprise.
- 74'
What an important challenge from Clichy! Aliev and Eremenko swap passes and if the left back hadn't intervened it may well have been 2-0. Brilliant defending.
- 73'
Good block from Toure as the ball broke for the onrushing Vukojevic. Then the ball finds its way to Bangoura. Can anyone guess what he does? Yep, shoots miles wide from 30 yards.
- 72'
Bangoura now gets booked for a shameless dive as he attacked Gallas. Well done ref.
- 71'
Bangoura is giving it the big 'I am' now he's slotted a penalty. Calm down fella, anyone can do that.
- 70'
Bendtner on, Song off.
- 69'
The commentators are really rubbing it in now. "Dynamo Kiev were the only team not to get a SINGLE POINT in last year's competition." Oooohhhhh, I'm scared.
- 68'
Looks like Nicklas Bendtner is coming on....
