New signings Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Andre Santos
both scored in the first half to help Arsenal overcome another
defensive lapse in a 2-1 win over Olympiakos in the Champions
League group stage.
The 18-year-old Oxlade-Chamberlain netted just eight minutes
into his Champions League debut and Andre Santos made it 2-0
in the 20th as the Gunners looked ready to finally put their
disappointing start to the season behind them.
But Arsenal's much-maligned defense soon showed its frailties
once again, letting David Fuster pull a goal back with a
powerful header when left completely unmarked after a corner.
Vassilis Torossidis came close to equalizing in the 64th when
his curling shot from outside the area hit the crossbar.
The win gives Arsenal four points from two games in Group F,
while Olympiakos has zero.
