Standard Liege 2-3 Arsenal: Great comeback



uk.eurosport.yahoo.com
Eduardo scored a late winner as Arsenal staged a second-half comeback to win 3-2 at Standard Liege in their Champions League Group H opener.

Arsenal found themselves two down inside five minutes with Eliaquim Mangala's low drive followed by a Milan Jovanovic penalty.

Nicklas Bendtner pulled one back on the stroke of half-time before a controversial Thomas Vermaelen equaliser after 79 minutes.

Just two minutes later Cesc Fabregas's corner hit the knee cap of the Gunners striker and flew into the back of the net for the winner.

It completed a crazy night for Eduardo, who won his appeal against a two-match ban imposed by UEFA for diving in the qualifying game against Celtic, as he made a schoolboy error inside two minutes to gift the Belgians the lead.
