AC Milan Vs. Arsenal, 2012 Champions League: Robinho Scores, 2-0 Milan

Stay connected with SB Nation

Laurent Koscielny can't defend Zlatan Ibrahimovic at all and there's some bad blood between the pair now as things get increasingly physical, Ibrahimovic complaining of an eye-poke from the Arsenal centre back after Viktor Kassai had once again somewhat dubiously adjudged the Swede to have committed a foul.

And then we're at 2-0. Bacary Sagna keeps Ibrahimovic onside (maybe) as he surges down the left flank, and while the defence protests the linesman's call a simple cross to Robinho results in a goal. The Brazilian really didn't have much to do - the ball was put on a plate for him about three yards out, and he made no mistake in guiding it into the bottom corner. Not a whole lot Wojciech Szczesny could have done about that one.

That Robinho goal makes up for an early mistake from the former Real Madrid man. A few minutes prior to scoring, he managed to rob Thomas Vermaelen to create a two-on-one attack only to overrun the ball and allow Koscielny to cut things out. They won't mind that error too much now - Milan are completely in charge of this tie.
