Soccer Post: Udinese-Arsenal - Final Score

[Maroon Eagle]

Gunners win 2-1 (3-1 aggregate) after trailing 1-0 (tied 1-1 aggregate) at the half.

Szczesny makes a penalty save. Van Persie & Walcott scores.

Walcott also gets a yellow card so he's ineligible for the first group match.

Especially being away from home. I hope this is a springboard to better things but I'm sure I'll still be a little pissed if/when we lose at Old Trafford this weekend.

Whew. I kept thinking "Here we go again..." when Arsenal was applying all the pressure and still fell behind at the half. But, kept feeling like some goals were coming. Szczeney deserves at least a $1 million bonus out of the $25 million+ the Gunners will receive for getting through to the Group Stage. Huge save for many reasons. Hope Gervinho learns to pick his head up and not always go 1-on-1 when there are options in the box.

I can't help but like Di Natale - guy just knows how to get his shots (and make a lot of them). Wish Arsenal could find a younger version of him.

Great win! Now, Arsene, go spend that war chest and sign some players!
