Arsenal 1-3 AS Monaco: Gunners stunned as Monaco win at the Emirates


AS Monaco took the lead in the 38th minute through influential midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia. 


The former Arsenal-target hit a long range striker that deflected off Gunners’ defender Per Mertesacker and into the back of the net. It stunned the stadium, but Arsenal failed to fight back before half-time, and went into the break behind.
They start the second-half a lot quicker as expected after a telling off from manager Arsene Wenger, but it failed to get a result. Players continued to give away the ball in dangerous positions, and it subsequently led to Monaco’s second breakthrough goal from Dimitar Berbatov. The former Tottenham man collected a cutback and made no mistake with a composed finish past David Ospina.
Substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain pulled a goal back for Arsenal late on, with a brilliant curled effort from the edge of the box, but he then lost possession a minute later that saw Monaco restore their two-goal lead. The result sees Arsenal on the brink of elimination.

Chelsea won't sign new players - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea will make no signings in the January transfer window, says manager Jose Mourinho. The team has enough capable and balanced players to even out in the coming competitions. The Blues have six matches before January 1, with the first starting today against Hull City. Mourinho plans to rest his senior players for this Yuletide season, saying he is doubtful any one player should appear in all the six matches. The manager has granted his European-based players a two-day 'holiday' to rest and 'have a nice dinner with their families'. The former Real Madrid manager's side meets Hull City in the Premier league today. Petr Cech will replace injured skipper goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the Hull City face-off.
