2006:
Highbury's final European tie ends in a slender 1-0 win over Villarreal in the Champions League semi-final, first leg.
Kolo Toure netted the winner - on a night when a squirrel famously entered the field of play - as Arsenal's miserly defence reached 829 minutes without conceding a European goal, a ninth successive clean sheet and competition record.
Skipper Thierry Henry says: "It's a big result because we didn't concede. We have shown already we can do the job away from home but we have nothing in the final yet. We are only half-way there.''
