Champions League Update

Both Arsenal and Chelsea maintained their 100% records in the group stages of the Uefa Champions League as they looked to reach the latter stages of the elite European competition. Arsenal were rarely troubled in a comprehensive 5-1 victory against Shaktar Donetsk and broke the record for the number of goals scored after the first 3 matches of the group matches with 15 goals in total. Goals from Alex Song, Samir Nasri, Cesc Fabregas, Jack Wilshere and Marouane Chamakh helped Arsenal reach the landmark total whilst a consolation goal from former player Eduardo was greatly cheered. Chelsea made light work of playing on a plastic pitch in a freezing Moscow with goals from the native Yuri Zhirkov and Nicolas Anelka giving them a 2-0 victory against Spartak Moscow. Elsewhere, in the glamour match of the night, Cristiano Ronaldo inspired Real Madrid to a 2-0 victory against AC Milan with a goal and an assist in 2 minutes. Robinho came off the bench to play against his old team but was ineffective and was jeered every time he received the ball. For the latest leagues tables click here
