Arsenal Euro rivals trip up

Arsenal’s Premier League surge is in marked contrast to their rivals in Champions League Group D.

Both Napoli and Dortmund, who square off tomorrow night in a crucial European battle, were beaten at home over the weekend while Marseille all but admitted they are going to send a second string to North London today.

Antonio Cassano scored a late winner for Parma to put a dent in Napoli’s title hopes who suffer back-to-back Serie A defeats at home for the first time since December 2012.
