Arsenal Vs. Olympiakos, 2011 UEFA Champions League: Greeks Claw One Back, 201.

Yeah that two-goal lead for Arsenal isn't there anymore. The hosts are still in front - just about - but Olympiakos have been looking like good shouts for a goal and they've finally got one. And, surprise surprise, said goal came from a set piece.

A short corner caught the Gunners' defence completely cold, and allowed their visitors to get into even better crossing position and swing the ball in for David Fuster, who didn't really have much work to do besides nod the ball into the back of Wojciech Szczesny's net. There wasn't even a hint of a challenge from the Arsenal defenders, who were basically nowhere near him. Game back on then, I'm thinking - the hosts might be able to do neat things going forward, but Olympiakos are running them ragged in midfield at the moment. Definitely not what we're used to seeing when Arsenal play in Europe. It's 2-1 at the Emirates.
