Larsson celebrates the winning goal |
|
|
|
|
|
Celtic did what no one has been able to do this season, beat Arsenal. With the lethal offensive firepower both teams possess, it was Celtic's Saviola and Larsson who put on a show in the second half to overcome Ronaldo's goal just before the half. The game was dominated statistically by Celtic, quite surprisingly as the road team. In the 23rd minute, Saviola set up a 25 yard goal by Pavel Nedved, but it was ruled out as Larsson was in an offside position. Ronaldo got the scoring started in the 44th when he managed to make a solo run and round Casillas, but Casillas recovered to make the initial save, but Ronaldo cleaned up his |

own rebound. Celtic didn't lie down though, refusing to go away, Saviola who scored in Celtic's last game, intercepted a Gilberto giveaway and took it into the box and applied a top corner finish. The winner came 5 minutes later in the 60th minute when Larsson received a Beckham cross, used his first touch to set up his shot and slid it past Dida.
