MAJESTIC HENRY
At Highbury substitute Van Persie added two well-taken goals to Thierry
Henry's majestic opener midway through the first half, a right-footed curler
into the corner of the net after some neat inter-passing.

Persie (R) celebrates with Emmanuel Eboue (L) and Lauren after scoring
against Sparta Prague during their Champions League Group B soccer match
at Highbury in London, November 2, 2005. Arsenal won the match 3-0.
[Reuters] | Arsenal have a maximum 12 points, five
more than Ajax Amsterdam who increased their grip on second place with a
dramatic 4-2 win at Swiss side Thun.
Stoppage time goals by Nigel de Jong and Nourdin Boukhari gave the Dutch side
victory and they are now four points clear of third-placed Thun.
Group A is much tighter after a David Trezeguet double earned Juventus
revenge for their defeat at Bayern by the same score two weeks ago.
The French striker's goals came either side of a Sebastian Deisler goal for
Bayern, lifting Juve to the top of the group on nine points, the same as the
Germans.
However, Juve's night was soured when Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was
sent off in the last minute for kicking out at an opponent.
Belgian side Club Bruges remain in contention on six points after a 3-2 home
win over Rapid Vienna, who had taken the lead with a goal after only 26 seconds
by Marek Kincl.
