What a game! Thanks for your company, and for bearing with us through a few technical hitches. Until next time.

For some reason, our software chose not to publish my description of the second Arsenal goal, so here it: Theo Walcott streaks down the right, past Kaladze and squares across goal for Emmanuel Adebayor to tap home for his first goal in the Champions League.

Well, what a game and what a monumentous evening for Arsenal. All their big players turned up and bossed proceedings and in doing so reduced AC Milan to a ramshackle outfit. Remarkable.
- 94'
Arsene Wenger is fit to burst. he thought the chance had gone - as did we - but two late goals have seen the Gunners through. The final whistle. It is confirmed!
- 93'
Arsenal have been imperious this evening. They have humiliated the reigning champions on their own patch, and should really be more than two nil up. Hats off to them, what a display.

GOAL! Arsenal are through!
- 91'
'Are you watching Tottenham,' the Gooner fans now sing.
- 90'
Gilberto is on, not sure who for yet. Four minutes of injury time to play.
- 89'
Milan's fans are streaming for the exit and the San Siro reverberates to the noise of Arsenal's travelling fans.
- 88'
This could also be curtains for Ancelotti. Milan are out of contention in Serie A, out of the Italian Cup, and very nearly out of the Champions League.
- 88'
Its all about time wasting for Arsenal now. Even in their illustrious history, this would be a monumental night.
- 87'
A succession of corners for AC but Sagna clears well before Gallas hoofs clear. they're Gunner do it! Sorry, pitiful that was.
- 86'
Eleven English sides have come here to play AC Milan and NONE of them have won. Arsenal are on the brink.
- 85'
Now Pirlo is booked for akick at Walcott. The champions are falling apart and their season is over, unless they can score two goals in five minutes.
- 84'
I've been telling Fabregas to shoot for 80 minutes, he finally does it, the ball flicks off Nesta and creeps in the bottom corner. They have the goal they deserve. Finally!
- 84'
GOAL! Arsenal have scored!
- 83'
Pato shoots again but weakly, and straight at Almunia. He's due one soon that lad.
- 82'
It isn't, Sagna clears.
- 82'
The referee is trying to get back in Kaka's good books by awarding him a non-existent free kick. Let's hope this isn't the moment.
- 81'
Ten minutes left. And three minutes until Milan score, if my prediction is spot on.
- 80'
Kaka doesn't get a throw-in, slams the ball to the floor in a fit of petulance and rightly gets a big fat yellow card in his chops.
- 79'
Pato is getting closer! A long ball from Ambrosini sees him one on one with Clichy. He cuts inside and hits left footed and Senderos get a nick on it to send the ball just wide.
- 78'
Not quite from Diaby there as his floated cross is a few yards out of reach of Adebayor. The vistors have had 60% of the possession we are told by the statman.
- 77'
We're entering dangerous territory for Arsenal now. They haven't taken their chances, or capitalised on their dominance, which means Milan know one goal may well win it for them. Football can be cruel sometimes....
