A stunning second half display by Arsenal do the trick to dispatch Bayern Munich conqueror Borussia Dortmund 2-1 to advance into the quarter-final of the Champions League for their 12th successive straight years in the competition.Again, the flying Dutchman - Robin Van Persie guided Arsene Wenger's side with two well taken goals in the 49th and 86th minute to send the Bundesliga's champions packing with one match spared.
But it was the Ivory Coast's hard working midfielder Alexander Song who did paved the way for the Gunners victory. He work his way on the left with a silky touch. Dribble past between three defenders before crossing the ball for Van Persie with an orthodox header down past goalkeeper Weidenfeller.
The goal seems to cause a severe damage towards the German's champions performance and the much thousands of travelling fans hopefuls in search for a victory.
Arsenal's second goal was from a simple tap in by Van Persie. Defender Thomas Vermaelen out jumped Borussia's defenders from Mikel Arteta corner at the near post. The Belgian international flicked it perfectly for the unmarked skipper with the easiest task to tap in.
And the visitor got a consolation goal late in injury time through Japanese's international Shinji Kagawa.
