Arsenal not pressing forward now. They have got what they came for as Fabbrini picks up a booking. Clock ticking down. Wenger looking serious, but must be brimming with pride inside.

Benatia in a spot of bother. He is carted off to be replaced by Giovanni Pasquale.

Armand Traore takes over from Gervinho. He can be happy with his contribution this evening.
85'
Arsenal all very relaxed now as Gervinho and Ramsey decide to show off their dribbling skills. Match is dead as a contest.
84'
Di Natale looks on with a rueful grin. Has not really been his night, despite that opening goal. The missed penalty has been the turning point of this second half.

Di Natale tries to fool Szczesny with another majestic free-kick, but the visiting keeper does superbly well to claw the ball out at the near post.

Change coming here for Udinese as Denis replaces the tiring Isla.
81'
Di Natale caught offside seconds later. Just 10 more minutes for Arsenal to see out, and they will be in among the (other) big boys in the group stages.
80'
Jenkinson tries his luck from distance, but an easy enough stop from Handanovic in the home goal.
79'
Badu sends Di Natale racing clear, but he screws his shot wide of goal. A tired and a deflated effort from the striker, who has given so much this evening.
78'
The draw is tomorrow in Monaco, and don't forget to join us for that one with Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City all in there.
77'
Arsenal face Manchester United on Sunday in the Premier League, and they will do so in good spirits after this result. Game surely over as a contest as the Gunners keep possession.
76'
Walcott will miss Arsenal's opening game of the group stages, but that will matter little to Wenger. As long as his side are there. Time to splash the cash in the next few days?

Fabbrini is felled by Jenkinson and he joins Walcott in the book for a late one.

Walcott and Benatia are booked after a bit of a late coming together. Wrong decision by the referee. Walcott should never have been booked.

Sagna has picked up a yellow card amid all these goings on.
72'
The Udinese defender used an elbow there. He is lucky the referee missed that otherwise he was walking early.
71'
Walcott goes down in the box after a collision with Neuton. Referee is wanting to see what is going on here after stopping the play.
