Champions League qualifier: Arsenal 3-1 Celtic

Thursday, August 27, 2009

A controversial penalty decision helped Arsenal secure another shot at the Champions League with a 3-1 win over Glasgow Celtic at the Emirates.

After 28 minutes, Arsenal were awarded a penalty when Eduardo ran into the box and dived when Artur Boruc went towards the ball. To add insult to injury, it was Eduardo who dusted himself off to send Boruc the wrong way with his penalty.

Emmanuel Eboué then scored following a slick passing move eight minutes after the re-start and substitute Andrei Arshavin added a third on 74 minutes.

Celtic midfielder Massimo Donati salvaged some wounded pride in stoppage time with a stunning volley in off the post from Andreas Hinkel's right-wing cross.
