Arsenal knock AC Milan out

Tue 04 Mar, 10:14 PM


MILAN (Reuters) - Cesc Fabregas and Emmanual Adebayor scored to send Arsenal through to the Champions League quarter-finals with a 2-0 win at holders AC Milan on Tuesday.

The Premier League leaders qualified 2-0 on aggregate after the sides drew 0-0 in the first leg in London two weeks ago.

Arsenal were on top for most of the game at a slippery San Siro but were too intricate in their play until Spanish midfielder Fabregas rifled in on 84 minutes and Adebayor slid home in stoppage time.

Milan, who had Kaka back from injury, threatened occasionally but continue to look a shadow of last season's side.
