Greek Test Passed

Aaron Ramsey scored for the first time this season and the first question that popped up to my mind was "who's going to die?". Though it was just purely coincidence death occurred when The Welshman scored.

The finish he applied to the headed pass by Olivier Giroud was something special and it gave a gloss to the scoreline in a match that could have gone either way in the first half.

Another cool finish by Gervinho from outside the box gave the home fans something to cheer after Olympiacos had created more chances than The Gunners.

But Kostas Mitroglou stole between Laurent Koscielny and skipper Thomas Vermaelen to head home to even things up as Norwegian referee, Sven Oddvar Moen was about to blow the half time whistle.

However the home side came out blazing in the second half and eleven minutes after the restart Lukas Podolski restored Arsenal's lead with a smart finish that went in between the goalkeeper's legs after Gervinho had done all the hard work from the left flank.

Both Podolski and Gervinho went off with ten minutes to go and were replaced by Giroud and Ramsey. The Frenchman could have had his first Champions' League goal but his goal-bound shot hit Dimitris Siovas who happened to be in the way.

Despite not scoring, the Frenchman provided another crucial assist as his header found Ramsey who calmly lobbed the Greek goalkeeper.

Arsenal now lead the Group B table with a perfect record before their double header against German side Schalke 04 later in October and early November.
