00:02There is an element in this Arsenal line-up, which is absolutely guaranteed that everybody connected with Sporting would want
00:11to come.
00:12Four of them in the last three Champions League games played here.
00:18What a spell, a stellar spell with Sporting. 97 goals in just 102 appearances.
00:24And no surprises, Stewart, that manager Mikel Arte.
00:28And certainly Portuguese football produces so many talented players, and of course talented teams as well.
00:38Simerita sometimes goes into the right-back position.
00:41There's a ball for Araujo, into that sort of position.
00:45He's rattled the bar where the right got a touch, he might have done. Flag stayed down.
00:50Salvez keeps taking Ben White, he doesn't on this occasion.
00:53Ben White's body position is all wrong, what a pass it is from the centre-back.
00:58Diamande, full-back, makes the right run, he's onside.
01:01And it's a nice touch, a good touch from Raya. He's just saved his team here.
01:07Brilliant.
01:08Larrowing into the top corner.
01:11That's why he's such a highly-rated goalkeeper this time.
01:17Trincao into the wall.
01:21That's another rasper of a shot from Araujo, up and at him character.
01:29You can see he's trying to put a bit of a whip on it there.
01:31Never coming down in time, but certainly got a good left foot.
01:34The left-back can get goals from all different positions.
01:38You can see Suarez has stolen the headlines with the volume of his productivity.
01:46You don't see too much of Trossi, he gets a touch then.
01:55Juarez, the last line of defence, we've just seen that with his save.
01:59And the first line of attack, that's how he describes himself.
02:02He's a great passer of the ball.
02:08Very good work by Suarez again.
02:11Here's Catamo, all left foot really.
02:14Showing he can use his right foot and he crisply put it into an area where right...
02:18Gabriel is often the mastermind of Arsenal in these situations.
02:23Maduweke takes, he's come out off the bar.
02:27And then goes Odegaard!
02:29That's a goal kick.
02:31Coming through at Spain and Valladolid.
02:34Not one of the biggest clubs.
02:37You can tell right from a young age.
02:40He had some qualities.
02:43No physical quality here at Arsenal.
02:46Odegaard showing he can use his right foot.
02:52And we have three seconds added on.
02:55So, first half in which Arsenal had much of the ball.
03:05So, second half under way.
03:08The official statistics show...
03:12Conflori stepping into midfield.
03:14Here's Odegaard.
03:15Trusser waiting for the pass.
03:19The President thought he could get it on the touch.
03:21Trusser has dragged it wide but in a position where he certainly can be a threat.
03:25Lined up sporting players.
03:27And they're very deep.
03:29Very deep.
03:32There's the...
03:33In Camona guard.
03:36Yeah, the man this game seemed to be all about once the draw was made.
03:41It only takes a second, as they say.
03:43So, I think it could be sporting using that second to their advantage.
03:47Trincao!
03:50You bring your player who won the Champions League for you seemed...
03:53Stretching a point in the wrong direction.
03:55Here's Jocheres.
03:58And what a shot.
04:00Taken by Zubi Mendy.
04:03Who trots away in celebration.
04:06It caught Rui Silva out.
04:08And in a game of fine margins.
04:11Let's have a look here.
04:12There he is.
04:13He is offside.
04:14Quite clearly when the ball's played to him.
04:16This will be ruled out.
04:20Arsenal...
04:20It's a nice finish.
04:21Offside.
04:22No question about that.
04:23Big cheers from the majority in the stadium.
04:31Not so well received in the away dugout.
04:35He comes out.
04:37With a risk attached.
04:40He's lost the ball in a dangerous area.
04:44Jacarez.
04:45Won this competition.
04:49But not with this club.
04:50They're still waiting for their first grasp of the trophy with the big ears.
04:56And on by Braganza.
05:03He's been encouraged to shoot.
05:05Maybe.
05:05Gotama will on his left foot.
05:07He does.
05:09His touch wasn't a particularly big one.
05:11So he can't...
05:13Go round Calafiore.
05:15He has to go through it.
05:16Change the perception of the evening.
05:21Suarez has done very well.
05:23Oh!
05:23And Raios has had anything to do.
05:27Has to go through it.
05:27Well, this is good play from Suarez.
05:30He's finding himself out in a wide position up against Calafiore.
05:33That's enough to beat him.
05:34Calafiore goes to ground early.
05:35It's a lovely header at the near post.
05:37He's got all the work here.
05:39There's not a lot of pace on the cross.
05:43It's absolutely right.
05:47But Daman won't be thinking that.
05:51He'll be thinking, can I beat three or four of them and set up a winning goal?
05:54He's got a free kick here.
05:55But the difference between him and some of the other players we've seen on the field today
05:59is that when he gets the ball you're excited
06:01because you think he is going to run at people.
06:02He is going to go past people.
06:04Try and make things happen.
06:06Martinelli can do that as well.
06:08Oh, the goalkeeper.
06:09I was going to say very good handling.
06:11He kept his slippery ball on a wet night.
06:14And it just dips in front of him.
06:16That's well to grab it at the second attempt.
06:18But good play from Martinelli.
06:20Morita.
06:21He's done very well under pressure now.
06:23Can they work on that?
06:25They might do here.
06:26Sporting.
06:27With Catamo.
06:28Three to his left.
06:29Catamo sensing glory for himself.
06:31And it comes out to Suarez, the great poacher.
06:38He lets it go a little way, but he does well to get it back.
06:41There was a little question whether there could have been a penalty.
06:43The referee waited.
06:45VAR told him no.
06:47Just here with his legs.
06:48Does he just bring down Suarez?
06:50No.
06:50Certainly doesn't.
06:52Been very few stoppages.
06:53Hardly any injuries.
06:54Substitutions, of course.
06:55No long VAR reviews.
06:58No long VAR reviews.
06:59No long VAR reviews.
07:02Martinelli.
07:03Didn't use this extra two minutes.
07:04A lovely ball through.
07:06And they've got the goal at the end.
07:09Kai Havertz, the scorer of big goals in big games, arrives on the scene.
07:13Keeps his cool.
07:16And Mikel Arteta can celebrate.
07:19Arsenal going in front.
07:20In the very nick of time.
07:22In added time.
07:24Sporting who are pushing for a goal themselves.
07:27Caught out at the back.
07:29And Arsenal, Stuart Robson, have done the job.
07:33Well, they certainly have.
07:35Kai Havertz looks to be a really good run.
07:39Not quite sure where the centre halves were.
07:41But he makes the right run.
07:42Martinelli finds the right pass.
07:45And for once.
07:48There was some really good intent forward play.
07:53The two centre halves are too close to each other.
07:55The full-back can't get round on the cover.
07:57You have to give credit to Martinelli.
07:58But also the composure of Havertz.
08:01The first touch is a good one.
08:03He blows the final whistle.
08:05It came late.
08:07But it was a great moment for Arsenal.
08:10For Mikel Arteta after the back-to-back defeats.
08:13Thank you for joining us.
08:13Thanks.
08:14I'm your host.
08:15I'm your host, but I'll see you next time.
