Yellow Card P. Contreras
Oxlade-Chamberlain is cynically taken down by Pablo Contreras and he is booked. That challenge was... contrary... to the rules of the game.

Goal Lukas Podolski
GOAL! Great work from Gervinho, getting down the wing and eventually finding Podolski in the box, who sweeps a shot at goal. Megyeri could have perhaps done better again, the shot hit his foot and went underneath him.

Goal Konstantinos Mitroglou
GOAL! It's a simple, simple goal for the visitors. There is no pressure on the cross from the left by Greco, and Mitroglou glances a header into the far corner. A very nice goal, but the Gunners shouldn't have allowed that to happen.

Goal Gervinho
GOAL! Cazorla does really well down the left wing, finding Gibbs, who pulls the ball back into the centre of the pitch. Arteta blocks an attempted clearance to Gervinho, and the striker finds the bottom corner from the edge of the area. Think Megyeri was pretty slow to get down there, could have done better.

Yellow Card Laurent Koscielny
Ooh, nasty tackle from Koscielny. He's gone in high, and earned himself a yellow card. If the Olympiakos man hadn't seen that one coming, the Gunners defender could have been sent off there.

GOAL! You won't see an Arsenal goal like this very often. Mannone's goal-kick is flicked on by Giroud, and Ramsey runs in to chip it past the standing goalkeeper. Game, set and match Arsenal.
