Abou diaby's nightmare, United Victory!!

Manchester and arsenal were definitely engaged in a pulsating match at Old trafford, united's home. Arsenal definitely had a lion share of the possesion during the entirety of the match. Arsenal struck first through Andrei arshavin's monstrous stike in the 40th minute. Boy he really can hit it "HARD". United equalised in the 59th minute through rooney's penalty after he was brought down. Abou diaby handed mancheter united the lead when he put the ball in his own net in the 64th minute.

Manchester held on to take the first leg. I can say that the second leg in emirates promises to be fireworks.

Personally, If you ask me I can arsenal would have a smooth sailing through the first round. Although there are no minors in the world of soccer today. The red devils ( Man Utd) will most definitely not have a smooth ride. It becomes a case of facing your past in group F when Barca and Inter clash and also AC Milan and Real Madrid lock horns in group C i.e Zlatan brahimmovich and Samuel Eto'o facing their old clubs and also Kaka facing AC Milan.

Arsenal stroll over celtics

One of the available champions league spot was taken up by Arsenal F.c of england as they sauntered over celtics of scotland. It was played over two games. The first leg was won by the gunners(arsenal), as they are famously called. Many say it was quite an unfortunate loss for the scottish team as both goals scored were undeserved. The first was a deflection off the back of william gallas and the second was an own from gary caldwell of celtics.

Regardless of the misfortunes of the first leg, the Arsenal stamped their authority over celtics who proved no match for the english side. The game ended 3-0 in favour of arsenal. The first came from a controversial penalty when eduardo was purportedly brought down by celtic's goaltender Artur Boruc. It was converted by eduardo himself.

Arsenal was poised to make sure their sail through to the champions league finals would be by no means associated with fluke goals. The second and thrid goal came from eboue and arshavin respectively whom showed guile in front of goal before converting to make sure the match was less of a contest. Meanwhile, there was a consolation for celtic when Donati scored from an acute angle to beat almunia.
