    TNT SPORTS EXPERTS REACT TO ARSENAL'S LATE HEARTBREAK
    RIO FERDINAND: "... Arsenal controlled parts of the game, but at this level you've got to make chances, make keepers work....
    "They would have been happy with a 0-0, but this is the level you're at. If you make mistakes and give the ball away cheaply you get punished. The quality here is the highest of the high...."
    He added: "Arsenal looked a shadow of themselves today."
    MARTIN KEOWN: "Porto stuck to their game-plan. Arsenal had 69 per cent possession, with neither team creating much...."
    He added: "It will quite sickening for this young team to concede in the way they did."

    ARSENAL STUNNED BY LAST-GASP GALENO
    Galeno struck a sensational stoppage-time winner as FC Porto secured a 1-0 victory over a toothless Arsenal in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League Last 16 tie at the Estadio do Dragao.
    The Portuguese hosts saw little of the ball in the early stages but should have opened the scoring on 21 minutes when Galeno volleyed against the post before firing a close-range rebound wide.
    Arsenal struggled to create clear-cut chances but went close through William Saliba’s header from Bukayo Saka’s right-wing corner.
    The pattern continued in the second half with Declan Rice producing a brilliant block to deny Evanilson and Gabriel nodding a last-gasp header wide.
    It looked like both sides would cancel each other out but Galeno had other ideas as he curled in a 25-yard effort four minutes into added time to snare the first-leg advantage.
    Arsenal will now return to Premier League action at home to Newcastle on Saturday with the second leg of this tie at Emirates set for March 12.
