After this offensive ended, Arsenal started passing back and forth in their backfield again.
They tried a few forward attacks, and when it didn't work, they were in no hurry, slowly looking for opportunities through passing.

In Arsenal's home ground, Emirates Stadium, taking away one Champions League point is an acceptable result.
"Boom!"
In the 88th minute, once again Vermaelen delivered a precise long pass, slicing through the opponent's midfield line to find Arteta on the right.
