UEFA Champions League: Rossoneri Hold Off Gritty Gunners; Eagles Overtake Zenit

The UEFA Champions League's Round of 16 resumed with two games on Tuesday.

At London:

Robin van Persie goal Arsenal v Milan

Despite dropping a 3-0 road decision in game two, AC Milan still won their two-game series with Arsenal 4-3 on aggregate. Laurent Koscielny (7'), Tomas Rosicky (26'), and Robin van Persie (PK-43', shown here) provided the scoring for the Gunners who nearly came all the way back from that four-goal pasting they took last month in Italy.
