90+1' Bendtner it is... going for a first career hat-trick... DISPATCHED INTO THE CORNER!
90' PENALTY FOR ARSENAL! EBOUE HAULED DOWN BY FUCILE!
84' At its conclusion Sagna whips a ball in and Bendtner heads just wide of the near post! Nearly his hat-trick - a big difference with his performance in front of goal against Burnley.
77' Arsenal change: Arshavin's work is done, replaced by Theo Walcott.
76' Porto changes: Freddy Guarin and Mariano Gonzalez on for Varela and Micael.
72' Arsenal change: Denilson on for Nasri.
67' A Porto corner was cleared and Fucile brushed off easily by the splendid Arshavin. He ran 40 yards before releasing at the right moment for Eboue to take the ball around Helton and finish inside the post. 4-0 and 5-2 on aggregate.
66' EBOUE WITH ANOTHER GOAL!!!
64' He had the ball near the touchline and turned away from goal; then back again; then came inside Meireles; then squirmed past Bruno Alves and Rodriguez; and finally slammed the ball hard in off the far post from a tight angle! Strike!
63' GREAT GOAL BY NASRI!!! 3-1!!!
60' Rodriguez rises to head a corner towards the far post... only Nasri on the line can prevent a goal - and does!
59' Alvaro Pereira booked for a late tackle on Eboue. And rightly so.
58' Arsenal change: Emmanuel Eboue replaces Rosicky.
57' Control and volley by Arshavin from the corner of the penalty area, the ball jumping out of Helton's grasp but he blocks the rebound!
55' Great save by Almunia! Rodriguez pulled back from the by-line for Falcao to shoot first-time; the keeper blocks then claims.
46' Porto begin the second period. Arsenal now kicking from left to right.
- Porto change: Cristian Rodriguez on for Nuno Coelho.
45+4' The half-time whistle sounds after the subsequent Arsenal corner kick is cleared.
44' Bendtner booked for a two-footed tackle on Fucile. It wasn't dangerous, just one of those scissor efforts.
43' Vermaelen's header from Arshavin's kick is saved in the bottom corner by Helton! Close again.
42' Bendtner curls a bouncing shot towards the far post where Helton pushes it wide!
39' Clichy misses a header and the Hulk penetrates from the right flank; his outside-of-the-foot cross intended for Falcao is caught at his near post by Almunia. Ruben Micael had dropped for the pull-back and is not happy.
38' Yellow card for Thomas Vermaelen after he nicked Falcao in midfield.
34' Arshavin misses an open net! Nasri and Diaby combine and when the ball comes out to the playmaker, with Helton legging it across goal, he bends it first time a yard too high.
31' Here is Arshavin again, with a wall of blue and white ahead of him; he somehow threads it through for Bendtner, but he was a yard offside at least.
26' Fucile tried to see the ball out and it just wouldn't go over the touchline; he turned inside and played a pass that Arshavin got hold of. There were a pair of weak challenges and he sort of ambled to the edge of the box, but once there went down the outside and took out Helton with his low cross - open goal for the Dane.
25' IT IS 2-0 TO THE ARSENAL!!! BENDTNER AGAIN!!!
24' Hospital ball played by Diaby to Alex Song in the centre circle - Falcao goes through him and is booked.
22' Diaby in to the feet of Arshavin. He advances into the box, goes outside his man and squares hard and low - no one is there to finish!
12' Arshavin was wandering back from an offside position when the long kick was taken! Bendtner answers his critics following the weekend's misses with a goal to make it 2-2 on aggregate.
10' Arshavin won a brilliant header from a Manuel Almunia kick forward, sending it back to Nasri; the Russian spun and sprinted for a return pass down the middle, and almost got there ahead of Helton and Jorge Fucile. The ball broke free and there was the striker to finish.
9' GOAL FOR ARSENAL!!! BENDTNER!!!
8' A fantastic move ends with Sagna crossing deep for the arriving Arshavin... his header is on target but Helton saves at the near post! Corner.

Arshavin was realy the best

I am elated by the sturning display of the GUNNERS. Where do you find a team like arsenal?

I have to admit being an Arsenal fan is really hard but its the same to al things in life so if u get a quick fix test like Chelsky doesnt test as good as real, its better to wait and have dignity and proud I know I have wrote shiite and bad things about Arsene Wenger and the Boys sometimes out of frustation, but being a young dad I can c AW vision it takes time to enjoy the seeds of your children fruits and one must make sacrifices and one has to ask why I have to put my kids trough it because sometimes money is not enough and we as a family stand togheter and get closer and stronger I am an Arsenal fan because I know that AFC is just like my family they struggle 2gether and win 2gether and I know most of AFC fans dont realy expect 2-3 cups but even one cup with our stadium half paid and our young players affordable and gredy free and non more primadonas like Adebayou it nice, last night I saw AFC kids and olds boy like Sol united in a team spirit it made me cry because in life the best things are made from real sacrifices and AW has made sacrifices like mine and other honest families that have to pay bills.. why buy more debt when we already in debt its an example 4 al of us that we must b proud that We have an honest manager that did not buy a striker because he does not want to leave debt to is kids like MAnudebtunited and Chelsky KGB money AFC will pravail with grace and good footbal and honest management in credit crunch times VIva Arsene Wenger Viva AFC we wil win a cup but we already champs of debt and financial and ethical excelence in management and fair salary structure.....

Arsenal played better and deserved to win but some people are getting carried away over Bendtner . His hat trick was no more than two TAP-INS and a penalty . He is still the same player . Mediocre !!

Arsenal is the best of the best. Gunner for life

CAN WE HAVE WENGER? WHAT ARE TALKING ABOUT ARSENE WENGER BELONGS TO ARESNAL AT THAT IS THAT.

what a game, i said it and ther it was five of the best

from a liverpool fan - can we have wenger please? seriously, me and my mates are all wishing the gunners on for the league and CL, christ knows we don't want the mancs or chelski winning anything, we don't have a cats chance in a dogs hell of winning anything with the fat spanish waiter, so come on the gunners and take it from them for the rest of us
