Udinese 1-2 Arsenal, 1-3 on aggregate
Arsenal has reach the Champions league group stage after a fantastic win away against Udinese where Arsenal showed attacking skills and caracter. After being down 1-0 after a Di Natale goal for Udinese, Arsenal showed great caracter and went out in second half with offensive press. Arsenal had a lot of chances and the goal had to come, and it came.
Gervinho used his fantastisc pase and tecnique to delivere a perfect hard pass to Robin Van Persie who could not do anything other than score.
Arsenal was just finished with celebrating the goal before Udinese got a unintelligble penalty. The refere had apparently seen a handboal (that no other on the stadium had seen) on Thomas Vermaelen and a yellow card was given to the arsenal defender. The Udinese star striker Di Natale steppping forward to take the penalty and give Udinese the lead, but so easy was not it. Szczesny showed his incredible range he has by saving the penalty entirely by the post. The penalty save showing that nothing will stop Arsenal for reaching the group stage in Champions league!
After the penalty save Arsenal regane the controll in the match and Sagna delivered a clever pass to Walcott where Theo used his speed to come alone with the keeper and sending the ball on the left side for the keeper and into the goal! A good goal that secured Arsenals place in the Champions league.
The rest of the match Arsenal had totally controll and it was only one team on the pitch. Arsenal where closer to put a third goal than Udinese was to a second. After the match it was a relived Arsene Wenger being interviewed.
"Yes, I am relived. We are also proud of playing a superb match and coming back after being 1-0 down. Of course we wants to play in the best tournament, it is there we belong. Maybe this will bring some new players to the club now, but I can not say any names jet" says Arsene Wenger after the match
There are no doubt this will save a bit of the season for the gunners. This may even be a result bringing new players to Arsenal. Eden Hazard has told that he will join Arsenal, but only if they qualifies to the Champions League.
Arsene Wenger has been exposed for a massiv press both from the supporters and the press, but this will probably end the discusion about Arsene Wengers position in Arsenal.
