There it is! All over at the Emrirates! And Arsenal romp to a well-deserved 5-1 win over Shakhtar to remain top of Group H!
Wilshere looks to slide in Walcott... Pyatov is off his line quickly though and clears his lines!
Two minutes of added time to be played....
This has been comfortable for the Gunners tonight.... and it looks like they're going through from Group H without any problems.
Arsenal have kept 14 clean sheets in 21 Champions league matches at the Emirates.
Arsenal have only lost two of their last 35 Champions league home matches and those were both against English opposition.
Not sure if Shakhtar deserve that... they've been pretty poor tonight. But who can begrudge Eduardo a goal?
GOAL! Shakhtar pull one back and guess who it is? EDUARDO! It's a great finish from the former Arsenal man, a side-footed half-volley! And the Arsenal fans acknowledge it with a standing ovation! Nice all round!
Costa looks to wriggle his way through the Arsenal defence, but he's blocked this time.
Walcott! Oooh! Amibitious, but not that far away!
Rosicky fires over a cross, but it's poor and ball flies out of play.
Arsenal are looking like the team we know and love now... having failed to really get going during the first period.
Eboue goes for goal! But he's well wide with his shot... not that Arsenal fans in the ground care.
Walcott comes on for Chamakh, and Arshavin replaces Nasri.... all players get a big ovation.
Five-nil.... strange because Arsenal have only really found top gear over the past five minutes or so...
GOAL! ARSENAL HAVE A FIFTH! It's Chamakh who gets it, finishing after being found by Nasri's lovely clipped pass through! There's a huge hint of offside - Chamakh even can't believe he's onside - but replays show the assistant to have been spot on!
Walcott's coming on in a moment...
Gai off, Jadson on as Shakhtar make another change.
GOAL! AND WHAT A GOAL IT IS! Wilshere finishes off a beautiful passing move involving Denilson, Chamakh and Fabregas, the latter who plays a wall pass with the youngster... he does the rest, clipping the ball over the advancing Pyatov with aplomb! Brilliant!
That's a lovely reception for Eduardo from the Emirates faithful... he deserves that after what he went through there...
