Arsenal are lightweight all over the park, however that was arguably the worst ref performance of the season - not only the dreadful booking of Vela for a supposed dive which in fact was a stone wall penalty but the bookings in the second half have been very harsh.

Dreadful first half and the ref has made it a dreadful second half in terms of a spectacle - theres only so many decisions you can keep giving to one side.

A last second (second) goal killing off Arsenal who didnt deserve a win as well as the risk of playing a not fully fit Fabregas has definitely backfired as he came off injured. Think Eboue could be out for a while now as well.

Qualification looked certain but now level on points and 2nd due to goal difference with Braga (3rd) - Big games coming up now where they will have to show more strength - but the chances of a ref like that again should be low.

Weird game, no sign of Arsenal's fluent football and Braga only pushed in the second half, both would have taken a 0-0 at the start of the game.

I believe Braga needed a win to keep alive their slim chances of advancing out of this group. However, their goal differential is so poor they will have to thrash Donetsk in the Ukraine to advance.

The Vela card for diving was a really bad call and although Arsenal were poor today and didn't create anything a win over Partizan next matchday will see them through to the next round. It could screw up the next round for them, for if they finish second they could draw Barcelona or Real Madrid in the next round.

Fabregas has hurt his hamstring on the other leg, so he could be out for awhile, so all in all a bad day for Arsenal.
