Chamakh Scores in CL, Arsenal Victorious

It wasn't much of a test versus so-so Portuguese side, Braga, so the Gunners racked up a 6-0 win in the first Champions League test of the year.
With two goals each by Cesc Fabregas and Carlos Vela, and one apiece from Andrei Arshavin and more importantly, MAROUANE CHAMAKH!!!!!
Captain Fabregas was quick to note that they were not tested, saying that their European competition will get tougher...
"It was good training because in the Premier League and the Champions League we will have games where we will not have it easy,'' Fabregas told ITV.
OUCH!  "It was a good training..."  That will not go over well with Braga fans (but it's true).

A few tidbits about Marouane's match:
**He has scored in his last four Champions League outings (3 with Bordeaux last year, 1 with Arsenal this year).
** In the first half, he connected all 28 passes he attempted...a 100% average.  That is unheard of, especially from a player just now getting used to a new team.

Then they celebrate!
