2-1, Champions League Play-off, Stadio Friuli, 24/9 -11
van Persie 55,
Walcott 69
Amazing team performance throughout the game and what a comeback in the second half after being 1-0 down at half-time. This was just what we needed after some harsh weeks where we've lost both Fabregas and now Nasri.
We had a good first half but unfortunately found ourselves one-nil down just before half-time, and the second half didn't start much better as Udinese got a penalty just after half-time, fortunately Sczcesny saved the penalty and we didn't look back!Through some brilliant work from Gervinho, van Persie scored his first for the 11/12 campaign!
Not too long after that Walcott more or less sealed the game through a great strike by the young Englishman!
After Walcott's goal Udinese didn't ever look too likely to get back in the game and a great victory in the end for us!
So, looking ahead to the group stage, we will be facing Marseille, Olympiacos and Dortmund. Its a decent draw, we should definitely qualify from it!
Injury Update;
-Gibbs will miss the United clash as well, same goes for Wilshere.
-Diaby is still out as well as the suspended ones (Frimpong, Song & Gervinho).
