Gunners keep themselves in the Champions League hunt with special comeback to rock favourites
Arsenal gave themselves a sliver of hope in their Champions League last-16 set-to with Barcelona thanks to a dramatic second half comeback at the Emirates tonight.
Opponents Barcelona enjoyed the better moments for long periods of the game and took an early lead through David Villa. The home side were chasing shadows for much of the first 45 but were a different outfit after the break.
Holland international Robin van Persie continued his outrageous scoring streak with a 78th minute equaliser to haul Arsenal back into the tie before Andrei Arshavin, on as a substitute for Theo Walcott, slotted a second on 83.
