  • 81'
    Boakye is put in down the left channel with Debuchy laying prone on the floor but he screws his effort wide of the near post. He looks dangerous until he has to finish.

    What a block this is! Maitland-Niles and Wilshere break into he box down the left and the latter finds himself with with only Borjan to beat. He dinks the ball over the goalkeeper, only for Le Tallec to acrobatically clear off the line!

  • 41'
    Looks like we'll be heading into the break level here.
  • 36'
    What a save from Macey! Red Star take a short corner and a long range effort is deflected up in the air. It is headed goalwards by Savic but the keeper gets up to tip it onto the bar!
  • 35'
    Red Star counter and Srnic is found on the right but Macey tips his effort from just outside the box away for a corner.
  • 33'
    Willock drives forward and feeds Giroud but Borjan is out quickly to smother his effort. Brave goalkeeping.
  • 31'
    Arsenal counter and it's three-on-three, so Coquelin naturally opts to pass to one of the three blue shirts. Waste.

    Giroud gets to the byline but Borjan claims his low cross with Walcott sniffing.
  • 20'
    A bit of a lull here as both sides concede possession sloppily.
  • 14'
    Good feet for a big man... Giroud leaves a couple of defenders for dead by the corner flag with a nice piece of trickery before being brought down. The free kick is cleared away though.
  • 12'
    Such a waste! Radonjic is sent racing away on the counter down the left but he traps the ball further than most people can kick it and it runs out for a goal kick.
  • 10'
    Soldier, soldier! Giroud almost gives Arsenal the lead! Maitland-Niles skips past his man down the left and his low cross is perfect for the Frenchman but Borjan does well to save his low effort from ten yards. Chance!

    Good defending from Elneny as he cuts out a dangerous pull-back down the right.
