Former Gunner, Eduardo, put the final nail in the coffin against his former team today. Playing at home, Shakhtar dominated the Gunners in the second half, coming from behind to win it 2-1 after Theo Walcott had scored an early goal.
Wenger's team selection was curious, leaving out Marouane Chamakh (he was rested for last week's Carling Cup tie as well) in favor of unfit Nicklas Bendtner, who was left alone up front.
Why leave out the man who has scored in all 6 of his last Champions League matches? Wenger subbed in Marouane with a few left to play, but without Nasri and Fabregas, he didn't find many chances. He created a few for others, but they couldn't finish.
The loss now means the Gunners will have to wait to secure their advancement into the next round.
