Arsenal lost 3-1 to Olympiacos at the Stadio Karaiskaki though the Greek side still crashed out as Marseille overcame Borussia Dortmund. More
88' Olympiacos 3-1 Arsenal - Goal! Olympiacos win the freekick by the corner flag. They flight the ball in, Mellberg with the towering header comes off the post and Modesto has the simple tap in as the Arsenal players step up wrongly appealing for offside.
83' Megyeri punts long, Modesto puts in an excellent cutback. Orbaiz with the snapshot and Mannone reaches up to palm clear!
81' Oxlade Chamberlain picks up a yellow for a professional foul on the halfway line.
75' Rosicky should have scored as he and Benayoun exchange passes on the edge of the area. The Czech tries to flick it over the advancing keeper, but he's come out well and blocks.
70' Arsenal Sub: Rosicky is on for Coquelin.
63' Olympiacos sub: Fuster is replaced by Djamel Abdoun.
60' The referee didn't like the challenge from Frimpong. He caught Torosidis as the Olympiacos captain cleared.
58' Seconds later Olympiacos should score! Mannone and Squillaci wait for each other to take charge of the ball. Neither does and Modesto heads wide from just outside the six yard box.
56' Olympiacos 2-1 Arsenal - Goal! Chamakh heads the ball down for Benayoun, who passes out to Miquel. The young Spaniard clips the ball back in for Chamakh who chests down, he's possible fouled, but no matter as Benayoun smashes a lovely shot into the top corner.
53' Miquel came on a minute ago due to that Santos injury.
50' Squillaci beats Djebbour to the ball, but Vermaelen's diagonal pass doesn't reach it's target. Olympiacos break forward, Mirallas cuts in and tries his luck, but the ball clips off Djourou and into the side netting.
47' Santos with an awful header at the back post as he tries to clear. Modesto picks it up and hits straight at Mannone at the near post.
46' No changes at half time for either side as Olympiacos get the game back under way.
45+5' Santos takes his turn to lose the ball in a dangerous area, but it's scrambled clear. Chamakh can't keep the ball in on the left and that's it for the first half.
45' Djourou gives the ball to Maniatis in his own area. He literally passes it straight to him. Maniatis looks up from the edge of the area and tries to curl one past Mannone, but it's poor and the keeper holds with ease.
36' Olympiacos 2-0 Arsenal - Goal! Mannone tries to kick the shot from Fuster away! He's in th area and he tried to kick away a lofted shot! He could have caught it. It all came about as he came to the edge of the area to head the ball away. Fuster did do well though from distance.
28' Arsenal again lose it in midfield cheaply, again Holebas fouls as Arsenal look to take it away on the break as they regain the ball. Holebas picks up a yellow for the foul on Coquelin.
25' Arsenal substitution: Mannone is on for the injured Fabianski.
22' Mirallas with a bit of opportunism as yet another terrible Fabianski clearance goes straight to the forward. He tries to lob the keeper from 40 yards, and it goes just wide!
16' Olymiacos 1-0 Arsenal - Goal! There's a touch on the throughball from Squillaci then Djourou. The ball falls kindly for Djebbour and he rounds Fabianski and slots in at the near post.
14' Frimpong plays in Chamakh, his first touch isn't great and his shot is blocked. The ball comes back to him though and he plays the ball back to Frimpong, who's shot under pressure hits the side netting!
7' Fuster chases a ball down, but Fabianski smothers. Chamakh at the other end slips in Arshavin and he's completely through. He tries to nutmeg Megyeri, but the keeper stops with his feet.
3' Santos now concedes the corner and it's a really sloppy start from Arsenal. Chamakh with a slip fouls Holebas. Chamakh loses the ball after Squillaci desperately clears. Papadopoulos picks up a yellow for a trip on Frimpong.
1' Arsenal get us under way and they are shooting from left to right. Vermaelen receives the ball and goes long straight away.

51′ mannone,you si the fault why arsenal loss.

re 129 hero ..." bentener " ... you got to be joking ..... yeah , thought so .

so were are all the so called arsenal players who jumped ship and went to man.c. are they in the champions league. ha ha ha

Ain't it disgraceful that you complaining of Arsenal fielding only one home player and claiming to represent the Nation? Ask urself this question: " is AFC the national team or a club?". You ain't the only patriotic pal around, we all are. Let the club do it's footballing and stop being judgemental about who U deam fit to represent the nation. GOOOOOOOOOOO! Arsenal!! GO!!! We are behind you, 'Come rain, sun shine or snow'; Use all ur explosive talents to reform ur image. Can not stop being ur supporter and I guess there are a lot more like me out there.

@127 didnt stop ya last wednesday giving grief to Spurs against PAOK, who cares really? Arsenal are through big deal they will need to win it if they wanna play in it next year and 133 Parker plays for Spurs guy @#$% are you on?

Why wasn't Parker 'yes m'lady' playing Gervinho? He is not a 3rd team player, 2nd for sure but he would of enjoyed showing everyone the worst ever comb over ever! Even worse than Sir Bobby himself. Never seen something so comical trying to hide the total baldness underneath. I laugh every time just like at the possibly 3rd (not 4th) best team in London.....

I agree with what most people are saying about Arsenal not having English players, But at the same time i agree with Wenger not paying over the top prices for the greedy B4stards

How can Arsenal pretend to be representing England in the ECL when they had only one English player on the pitch last night, it is becoming a joke in football with Wenger, at least Man City, Man United, Liverpool and Chelsea have at least 4 English born players in their actual teams and in some cases 6. When will these regulations for minimum of 7 English or British born players in a match day squad and 5 actually on the pitch at anyone time come into operation.

@ A.S. ROMA... Not even a single AS Roma player in the champions league maybe busy performing in a circus.
Arsenal4life.

As much as Arsenal fans don't like Bendtner, I think he is a better player than Chamakh, Is time for Carlos Vela to be given his chance to prove his worth

Olympiacos should have waited for the final 15 minutes to go for the kill.This way, the Dortmund players will still feel they might have hope and therefore will try to win by as many goals as possible and defend as hard as possible against Marseille. I bet when the Dortmund players realised that Arsenal were already two nil down after half time, they totally lost all hope and motivation in the second

@ A.S ROMA,
we dint rely on any1
we had won the group already and its arsenals 2nd team

Yes we have qualified, but these boys must learn that , this club,s fans dont like loosing--they have to learn to win and work hard enough, when they are given the opportunity to represent it. We lost to Man City, we lost to Man-U; these were matches where they represented the club. They have to wake up, as they soak up the relevant experience.
Peter Arigbe

yr yr we lost soo we still one the table and we didnt have van persie and all the players but we did have tomas v
