AC Milan 0 Arsenal 2

What can I say about that performance last night that probably has not already been said one thousand times? Fantastic, Mesmerizing, outstanding, prolific, exceptional and all other superlatives that could spring to mind.

I have been an Arsenal supporter for as long as I remember, since the day my Dad took me to Highbury back in the 1980's, and this is one the best, most thrilling, performances I have seen from them.

The way they moved the ball around. The way they ran Milan ragged and just wouldn't let them settle. You would have thought that Arsenal were the home team. That our new ground was the San Siro. Absolutely fantastic.

Fabregas and Flamini played like they were 3o years old; not 20. The rest of the team did their jobs too. Hleb deserves praise. Clichy and Sagna deserve it also. Walcott added an extra dimension with his introduction.

It was a night when Robin van Persie had returned to the bench and thankfully he got to rest a bit longer as he wasn't needed.

I can't think of much else to say right now except - here's one to Arsenal and to what the future could bring.

2-0 to the Arsenal, 2-0 to the Arsenal.
