Play by play

  1. 93'

    Game over. What a night, and the boos ring around the Fenerbahce stadium.

  2. 93'

    His first, and a 5th for the Gunners. Eboue played it in to him and he was on the edge of the box to fire home. A deserving finish.

  3. 93'

    GOAL! Ramsey nets late on!

  4. 92'

    Aragones may not last much longer in the Turkish hot-seat. They now face a trip to the Emirates for the next group game.

  5. 91'

    Diaby and Almunia have been ahead of the pack in terms of performance, but there's a lot to think about for Wenger. Three points give them a good lead in the group, while for Fenerbahce, the misery just gets worse.

  6. 90'

    Nothing to report. Just Arsenal pushing the ball around. In summary, they've been very good attack-wise and appalling at the back.

  7. 90'

    Not for Denilson though. His shot is blocked and for a moment there was a four on two in the Gunners' favour.

  8. 89'

    Denilson fails to keep it in and Fener have given up the ghost. Still time for a goal though...

  9. 88'

    Where does it go from here for Aragones? It looks like he won't last very long. Fener just aren't used to results like this at home.

  10. 87'

    Good stat. 33 goals in the Champions League tonight, in just 8 games.

  11. 86'

    Fabregas nearly gets the ball in to Vela, but Volkan is out well.

  12. 86'

    Adebayor off for Vela. So the Turks will have a bit more running to do.

  13. 85'

    Denilson with a good ball across to Adebayor. And Fener look tired, they're doing a lot of chasing.

  14. 84'

    Djourou on for Walcott, that tells you a lot. They need some stability in central defence.

  15. 83'

    Adebayor up front on his own now, looks pretty isolated.

  16. 81'

    Semih with the cross, well cut out by Clichy. And now Walcott breaks, his cross is headed away and Ramsey tries a backheel to release Fabregas. He looks a quality player and is only 17.

  17. 80'

    Ramsey has a go from way out, but doesn't quite catch it right.

  18. 79'

    Ten mins left and Arsenal could do with some defensive changes, they have been very poor at the back.

  19. 78'

    Terrible defending from Arsenal, they tried to play a high line and are not doing it well. Guiza is there again.. but offside. That was close.

  20. 77'

    GOAL! And it was coming. The number of times that Guiza has been left free. He beat the offside trap and then Almunia.

  21. 76'

    Rooney on the scoresheet for United now, they're up 3-0.

  22. 75'

    Guiza is, once more, free. A ball over the top and he can't bring it down again. If he'd converted all his chances tonight, it could be 5-4 to Fener.

  23. 74'

    Ramsey with a great tackle to send Fabregas free. His run is blocked out though and Fener snuff out the danger.

  24. 73'

    Carlos sent the ball in and Guiza is free AGAIN! He can't bring the ball down but he's been given the run of the pitch for most of the game, so you have to wonder who has been tasked with marknig him?

  25. 72'

    Diaby is coming off, he's been my man of the match tonight. Aaron Ramsey comes on.
