Arsenal through, Man U win and Chelsea lose

BBC SPORT : Arsenal 2-1 D Zagreb (agg 5-1)

Arsenal overcame an early Zagreb goal to run out eventual 2-1 winners on the night and 5-1 winners over the two legs. Van Persie was Arsenal's star man putting in a blistering display. Although he didn't get on the score sheet he did help setup Freddie's goal. The second goal scorer, Flamini, was setup by Theo Walcott, his 2nd assist in two game (not bad for less than 30 mins of football!).

Elsewhere Man U thrashed Charlton 3-0 but good old 'Boro came from 1-0 down to beat Chelski 2-1. It looks as though Chelsea shot themselves in the foot with a good dose of overconfidence. Keep up the good work lads!

All eyes now turn to tomorrows CL draw. Yet again Arsenal are a 1st seed thanks to reaching last years final. While Chelsea remain a 2nd seed thanks to their hopeless Euro form. Jose was whing about it earlier today. Boohoo! Let's hope they get Barca again! Personally I hope Arsenal get a tough group as it'll help them toughen up for the latter stages.
