John O’Shea nets the only goal of the semis so far

Manchester Utd 1/ Arsenal 0
The first round of Champions League semi-finals weren’t quite the goalfests we were all hoping for. At Old Trafford last night, Manu Adebayor was far too overwhelmed up front on his own to make a difference, and Manuel Almunia thwarted countless Utd efforts. Professor Wenger will be pretty pleased with the result, which is sure to make next week’s return leg at The Emirates more interesting. Please God, let it be more interesting.
