Arsenal in Semi FinalArsenal 3-0 Villarreal (agg: 4-1)Arsenal booked their place in the Champions League semi-final as they produced a dominant attacking display to beat 10-man Villarreal. Theo Walcott scored the first goal, collecting a Cesc Fabregas flick before running clear and chipping in. Emmanuel Adebayor put the hosts firmly in charge, producing a neat finish with the outside of his right foot. Sebastian Eguren was then sent off for disputing an Arsenal penalty that Robin Van Persie scored to seal the victory. In 2006 Arsenal faced Villarreal in a Champions League semi-final and after securing a 1-0 first-leg advantage would have paid for their defensive approach to the second leg had Jens Lehmann not saved Juan Roman Riquleme's last minute penalty.
