2. 38Walcott plays a lovely one-two with Rosicky but he can't beat his man in the box and Fenerbahce clear.
3. 36Huge blow for the Gunners after Koscielny is forced off but they are so dominant it shouldn't be a huge problem.
4. Koscielny has blood flowing from his head and is replaced by Jenkinson, with Sagna switching to the centre.
5. Webo goes in the book for a really high challenge on Koscielny, who looks to be in a bad way.
6. 28Great turn and run from Walcott but it comes to nothing. On the evidence of the opening half-hour, the Gunners will be kicking themselves if they don't take a lead back to London.
7. 25Kuyt just kicks the ball out of play under no pressure at all and it's fair to say that the home fans aren't happy! At the other end Ramsey pulls a shot wide from the edge of the box.
8. 21Fenerbahce win a corner after good work by Sow and Kadlec down the left but the Gunners comfortably clear.
9. 19Cazorla nearly finds Walcott with a lovely pass but the ball is cleared, only as far as Rosicky, whose cross is headed wide by Giroud. Arsenal well on top after 20 minutes.
10. 17The England man is back on and looks to be okay thankfully.
11. 15Wilshere down after being crowded out in midfield and he looks to be in some discomfort.
12. 14Lovely passing football from Arsenal finishes with Gibbs' cross being cleared for a corner which comes to nothing.
13. 11Finally some positive play from the home side as Kuyt puts in a good cross from the left but Koscielny clears well with a thumping header.
14. 9Kuyt finally gets a touch on the ball but he's comfortably offside. Hardly seen anything of Fener going forward so far, with Arsenal players working hard to deny them space.
15. 7Fenerbahce looking nervous and giving the ball away at will. Arsenal need to take advantage of this while they can.
16. 5Walcott has a crack from distance but his shot is easily blocked. Arsenal much the better side so far.
17. 3Walcott nearly in on goal after good work from Giroud but the keeper is out quickly to gather again.
18. 2Sagna works an opening down the right but his high cross is comfortably gathered by Demirel in the home goal.
19. 1We're underway and Arsenal are on the front foot right away. Positive opening from the Gunners.
20. Mitch Galvin from Cincinnati is expecting woe for Arsenal: '2 Years ago Arsenal dodged a bullet against Udinese. I fear that tonight will mark the beginning of Arsenal finally hitting rock bottom. It's been happening ever since they made the Champion's League final in 06, but it will finally come to an end, as will their history as a 'top 4' club.'
21. The teams are on their way out in Istanbul. Terrific atmosphere, as you always expect in Turkey.
