The home team “strangled” Arsenal from the very beginning and showed that they had come on the pitch to win the game, which is what they did. Djebbour at 16 minutes Fuster at 36 and Modesto at 89 scored for the winning team, while Olof Mellberg saw two of his shots (47’, 89’) hit the woodwork. At 57 minutes Benayoun netted the ball for the visitors (2-1).
