Play by play
- 90'
Panathinaikos thoroughly deserve their point, but they owe a great deal of thanks to Jens Lehmann
- 90'
Yet again Arsenal failed to impress on the European stage, rarely threatening Panathinaikos and struggling to get into the flow of the game
- 90'
And that's the end of the game, honours finish even
- 90'
Vyntra enters the book for a foul on Cole
- 90'
Cole slips in the area and almost gifts a last ditch chance to Epalle - but he escapes to clear
- 90'
Panathinaikos make their final change to waste a few more seconds, Miltiadis Sapanis comes on for Ezequiel Gonzalez
- 90'
Arsenal are enjoying possession, but the Greeks are back in numbers
- 90'
There will be two minutes added on in Athens
- 89'
Skacel picks up a yellow card for time wasting
- 88'
Time is running out for Arsenal now, they haven't deserved to take the three points
- 87'
...another fine stop by Chalkias, who keeps out Pires' effort from point blank range - how did Arsenal not score?
- 86'
It bounces back up to Reyes who intelligently nods it to Pires to his right, and he must score...
- 85'
Reyes gets space in the box and has time to unleash a power drive which Chalkias does brilliantly to keep out
- 84'
Arsenal get a free-kick on the right, Fabregas plays into towards the edge of the six yard box, Ljungberg is there first but his glancing header is poor and the hosts survive
- 83'
Awful defending all round by Arsenal - Lehmann was in no man's land, Olisadebe was unmarked and his header was simply planted into the back of the net. Level once more
- 82'
GOAL!!!
- 81'
Corner to Panathinaikos, with Basinas delivering from the left. Lehmann comes rushing out and gets nowhere near it - and the unmarked Olisadebe gets there first...
- 80'
Gonzalez is smart to see Basinas in space on the edge of the D, his first touch is not the best which forces him to rush the shot - and put it well over
- 79'
Epalle gets it all wrong when trying the reverse pass - Lehmann collects, staying inside his area this time
- 78'
Vyntra is too strong for Reyes, who muscles him off the ball and takes it forward
- 77'
Another change for the home side, Joel Epalle is on for Dumitru Mitu
- 76'
Panathinaikos will have it all to do again now, surely Arsenal will not throw it away again for a second time
- 75'
Fine goal from Arsenal, picking up on the error and turning the play in a second. Cole looked up and played a great ball along the deck to find Henry in a central position - who had only to sidefoot home. 2-1 to the Gunners
- 74'
GOAL!!!
- 74'
Basinas gives it away and Arsenal break with great pace, Cole finds himself clear on the left flank with the chance to look up and spot the run of Henry...
