Valencia hold Gunners

Arsenal 0 Valencia 0

Arsenal survived their Spanish inquisition in a hard-fought draw with Valencia at Highbury.

Arsene Wenger may feel that his men should have punished their guests once Miguel Angulo was sent off for violent conduct in the second half

But neither side could find that elusive goal, due to some stout defending and the excellence of Andres Palop in the Valencia goal.

He made several fine saves and denied Kanu in the dying seconds.

Sol Campbell was then forced to make a goal-line clearance from John Carew as the game ended in a thrilling climax.

The Gunners top Group B going into the winter break despite Ajax beating Roma 2-1 in the evening's other match.
