If Cesc Fabregas did Barcelona a huge favour in setting up Lionel Messi's first half equaliser, makeshift centre back Sergio Busquets has just done Arsenal an even bigger one in sending a header past Victor Valdez for an own goal and the equaliser. If they gave credit to an opposition player for own goals, Samir Nasri would get this one - he won the corner by skipping past virtually everyone trying to stop him sprinting down the left flank, even leaving Javier Mascherano face down on the ground as he blew by him. Nasri took the corner himself, and Abou Diaby left Busquets unsighted to nod 'home'. Arsenal lead 3-2 on aggregate and, crucially, have cancelled out their hosts' away goal.
FC Barcelona Vs. Arsenal FC, 2011: Busquets Own Goal Turns Game Around
Barcelona reacted immediately, with Manuel Almunia called into action to thwart David Villa and several scrambles in the box leaving Arsenal fans with their hearts in their mouths. Barcelona look on the verge of scoring again, but even should they get another goal here, a 2-1 lead for the home side would simply take the game to extra time.
