Arsenal vs. Olympiacos

2-1, Champions League, Emirates, 28/9 -11
Oxlade-Chamberlain 8,
Santos 20

We had some great offensive play in this game, but occasionally our defensive play was frightening! However, that is not down to the back four, Song (who deputised as centre-half due to an injury to Koscielny) and Santos were amazing in this game. Am really impressed by the Brazilian's passing ability!

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored in his debut in the Champions League, a superb move from him and a great finish! I don't think I'm the only one whose expecting wonders from him in the future!
Before long we extended our lead, with yet another debut goal! Andre Santos fired into the back of the net after some great play inside the box! I'm not used to seeing that kind of play from a full-back, but can't say that I didn't enjoy it!

Injury Update;
-Koscielny will most certainly miss the game against Tottenham on sunday, so is likely that Song will play as a centre-half yet again.
-Gervinho is a doubt for the derby on sunday, same goes for Theo.
