Play by play
- 90'
<b>FT</b> "Crisis" club Arsenal have now won five of their last six games in all competitions.
- 90'
<b>FT</b> In the other game in Group F, Olympiakos beat Borussia Dortmund to move off the bottom. All of which means Arsenal are in a very strong position to qualify - jut one more win needed.
- 90'
<b>FT</b> Well that was a dire second-half but Arsenal found a spark right at the end of the game to take them to the top of Group F.
- 90'
With virtually the last kick of the game Arsenal have won it as the ref blows for full-time.
- 90'
Ramsey ghosted in on the left of the box, totally unmarked. He had time to set himself and pick his spot. That's surely three points to Arsenal.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> ....but the ball runs through to Ramsey, who smashes his shot, low and hard, past Mandanda.
- 90'
Djourou puts in a cross for Gervinho who mis-controls the ball in the box...
- 89'
The best chance of the half that one... although that's not saying much.
- 88'
Gervinho cuts inside along the edge of the box. He slips a reveres pass through the OM defence for Van Persie, who shoots from an angle but can't beat Mandanda at his near post.
- 87'
Arteta refuses to pass to Van Persie who is free on the edge of the box. He instead passes out wide so yet another pointless cross can be cleared by the OM defence.
- 86'
Diawara plays a poor pass inside to N'Koulou. Ramsey races to get to the ball but N'Koulou is just a bit too quick and gets there first.
- 85'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Cheyrou goes off and is repalced by defensive midfielder Kabore. Looks like OM are happy with the draw.
- 84'
It's all very messy in midfield.
- 83'
Ramsey is caught offside as an Arsenal attack breaks down.
- 82'
Gervinho attempts to create something on the right flank. He beats Morel but then runs into the next defender.
- 81'
Valbuena leaves Mertesacker with twisted blood with some tricky wing play, but his final ball isn't a good one and Arsenal clear the ball from their penalty box.
- 80'
Djourou hits a terrible back pass to Mertesacker, who does very well to block Gignac from getting to the ball.
- 79'
In other news, OM have pink socks to go with their delightful orange kit.
- 78'
You know that previous stat about Arsenal's crosses being woeful? Well add another aimless one from Djourou.
- 77'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> And that's Arshavin's last contribution. He is replaced by Ramsey, who is making his return from injury.
- 76'
Arshavin pops up on the right. He gets a bit of space to cross but hits the side netting.
- 75'
Gignac fouls Mertesacker.
- 74'
I have a 'goal' icon all lined up and ready to use too... if only either team would score... I'd settle for a shot on goal at this moment in time.
- 73'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Djourou gets booked for winning the ball cleanly against Morel. Terrible decision by the ref.
- 72'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> OM make another change. Amalfitano replaces Lucho.
