Eduardo's penalty helped Arsenal secure another shot at the £30m jackpot of the UEFA Champions League with a comfortable win over Celtic at the Emirates Stadium. The cost of failure, both financial and in sporting terms, would have been immeasurable to the Gunners, who have consistently competed among the elite clubs of European football for more than a decade.
However, manager Arsene Wenger knows maintaining such a level will prove the biggest challenge ahead this season for his young Arsenal side, which tonight coped admirably without injured captain Cesc Fabregas. They took the lead in the first half, when Eduardo converted from the spot after he had gone down under a sliding challenge by Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc.
Emmanuel Eboue made sure there would be no comeback for Tony Mowbray's side with a [url=http://culturevultures.co.uk/contentpages/tarrifnew.php]http://culturevultures.co.uk/contentpages/tarrifnew.php[/url] neat finish after 53 minutes, before substitute Andrei Arshavin slotted in a third to complete a 5-1 aggregate win. Celtic midfielder Massimo Donati volleyed home a superb consolation goal in stoppage time.
For now, at least, the likes of Manchester City must sit and watch as Arsenal will take their place in the pot for tomorrow's group-stage draw in the millionaire's playground of Monaco, with expectations once again set high the Gunners can go one better than the semi-final appearance last season. Celtic, meanwhile, may be giants in Scottish football, but dropping into the UEFA Europa League will prove little consolation for the missed revenue and big-match experience.
Dominant Gunners
Arsenal had the luxury of a 2-0 lead from the first leg in Glasgow, and so Wenger decided to start with Robin van Persie and Arshavin on the bench. However, the front two of Eduardo [url=http://www.hellotraveler.com/ssl/Privacy.htm]new football kits[/url] and Nicklas Bendtner still provided plenty of movement, combining to set up a chance for the former after nine minutes. The Brazil-born Croatia striker was unable to stab the ball home at the far post, after Boruc had palmed away Bendtner's close-range flick.
Celtic manager Tony Mowbray named an unchanged XI from the side which defeated St Johnstone 5-2 last time out, and knew his men would have to take the game to Arsenal if they were to stand any chance of progress. The Bhoys looked to make the most of the counter-attack, but too often delivery was poor following good build-up.
The much-maligned Eboue had been pressed into a more advanced midfield role tonight, and almost opened the scoring with a shot on the turn from the edge of the Celtic area. After 29 minutes, Arsenal were awarded a penalty when Eduardo went down to the left side of the box, and he rose from the floor to send the keeper the wrong way and all but kill off the tie.
It was not the Scots' lucky night, as Scott McDonald saw his far-post tap-in ruled out by an offside flag with four minutes left of the first half.
In stoppage time, Boruc was at full stretch to push Eduardo's curling 20-yard effort around the post. The Croatian, who on another night could easily have netted a hat-trick by now, was on the end of a quick break and some neat footwork found himself space on the edge of the area, only to scuff a shot wide.
After 53 minutes, [url=http://www.pigammamu.org/hall-of-fame/orville-patterson.html]http://www.pigammamu.org/hall-of-fame/orville-patterson.html[/url] Eboue showed Eduardo how it was done, drilling a low shot past Boruc following more neat build-up from a clever flick by Bendtner and Abou Diaby's centre.
Arshavin was introduced for the final 20 minutes, along with teenager Jack Wilshere, the latest off the production line at London Colney. The Russian netted his first Champions League goal for Arsenal [url=http://innovis.org.uk/breedingproducts/sheepfecpak.html]http://innovis.org.uk/breedingproducts/sheepfecpak.html[/url] after a neat turn and finish, after collecting Wilshere's pass on 74 minutes.
Donati salvaged some wounded pride in stoppage time with a stunning volley in off the post from Andreas Hinkel's right-wing cross.
Next up for Arsenal is the small matter of a trip to Manchester United. There, Wenger's youngsters will face another stern test of character - which so far this season have all been answered.
