Wenger boys attacked one after another, but Olympiacos goalkeeper Antonis Nikopolidis denied Gunners a number of goals. Arsenal got their first goal from an organized attack. After receiving a pass from Carlos Vela, Eduardo sent a cross in the box which found unmarked Robin van Persie who did not have any problem to slot it into the open post. Arsenal doubled the lead in the 86 minute when Arshavin flicked a pass home without giving much time to the Olympiacos goalkeeper to understand the ball.
