Laurent Koscielny rises highest to head home Arsenal first goal

Champions League action today featured the return leg of Arsenal versus AC Milan at Emirates Stadium. Arsenal started out right out the gate on a mission to what seemed to be a remarkable comeback with a 3-0 lead at halftime. The only other famous comeback that comes to mind is by another English team: Liverpool's "Miracle of Istanbul" performance was the most exciting Champions League final to date.

The second half had AC Milan in control that resulted in very little opportunities for Arsenal. In true Gunners fashion they sure have a way of falling short time and time again. Today's game might not have had the same meaning and flare as the "Miracle of Istanbul", not being a final and all, but it sure had Gunners as well as AC Milan fans on edge. Can the embattled Chelsea, with Interim Manager Di Matteo, accomplish the impossible next week in the return leg against Napoli at Stamford Bridge? We sure are looking forward to find out.
