Gunners being overrun, but the whistle goes. Arsenal have a lot to do.
- 90'
Gallas commits the foul. And it looks all over.
- 89'
Last few minutes now. The ball is still in the Arsenal half, and Henry has dropped deep, Adebayor fails to get on the end of it.
- 88'
Looks a bridge too far now for the Gunners players. Perhaps too many games, but they were in the comfort zone in the first half. They have aided their own downfall.
- 86'
Simons and PSV happy to keep ball, Arsenal don't look like getting it back anytime soon. Culina and the PSV midfield are playing 'Ole' football.
- 85'
Still no way through for Arsenal, Rosicky pumps it long, but Gomes is there.
- 83'
Adebayor runs into Simons in the box, he was looking for the penalty, but it was never there.
- 83'
Gunners lose it again. There's loads of PSV players there, and it's just too intricate.
- 82'
Da Costa is off, Arsenal should be pumping long balls into the box.
- 82'
Arsenal are crying out for a old style centre forward. They keep passing and passing, but it's not getting anywhere.
- 79'
Alex fouls Henry. In a good position, Henry standing over it, but it was Baptista who hit it. Gomes nearly drops it. I thinnk Baptista was meant to leave it, Henry does not look happy.
- 78'
Arsenal still trailing, they do look poor. Baptista smashes it at Henry, but he could have done better.
- 76'
Henry one on one with Alex, but he just smashes an aimless shot against the defender. Kromkamp frees himself, but Clichy does really well.
- 75'
Kone breaks free on the left, Clichy was away with the fish. Pulls it back, Mendes shoots but Toure blocks. Simons was there.
- 75'
Tardelli coming off for PSV and it is Baptista for Arsenal in place of Hleb.
- 74'
Cocu tries to lob Lehmann from 40 yards, he scampers back, but it goes wide.
- 73'
Gomes claims the free-kick. That could have been something if the touch had been a bit lighter. Baptista is warming up.
- 72'
Rosicky fouled. Surely Wenger has to freshen up the game with a sub or two.
- 72'
All of the players have been shoddy tonight, and that's down to mindset. How can they not be up for the Champions League???
- 71'
Clichy is upended by some skill by Kone, Henry's first touch lets him down. He needs to get off the pitch.
- 69'
20 mins left for the Gunners to grab a goal. All they need is one goal and the whole tie looks so different.
- 68'
He then comes out and claims the corner with ease.
- 68'
Wenger off the bench and trying to get the players up for it. The ball breaks to Fabregas and he hits it well. Gomes flies to his left to tip it over. Good chance.
- 66'
Simons spreads the play, Arsenal can't get near the ball.
