AC Milan Vs. Arsenal, 2012 Champions League: Alex Song Booked

Can Alex Song defend Zlatan Ibrahimović any better than the rest of Arsenal's back line? Er ... no. The Cameroonian finds himself isolated against the Swede, who's running at him at full pace, and he can do little better than throw in a clusmy challenge that brings the big man down and earns Song a yellow card from Viktor Kassai. Fortunately for the Gunners, Milan don't really do much with their opportunity, the ball eventually rolling out for the free kick.

The hosts actually look a bit bored at this point. They can cut through their guests' defence with minimal effort, but that's more effort than not doing anything, and they've already got a 3-0 lead. Why bother doing anything but defend? The Robin van Persie shot, well saved by Christian Abbiati, remains Arsenal's only chance, and there are only 15 minutes left of this match. Things aren't really going well for the Gunners today, and unless something changes, there's not much point even playing the return fixture.
