Robin Van Persie scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot on 37 minutes, to hand Arsene Wenger's men a one-goal advantage ahead of the second leg in Rome.

Nasri turned from provider to receiver when Gael Clichy's pinpoint cross was headed wide by the Frenchman.
Roma hit back through Marco Motta. The right-back darted his way past the Arsenal defence before hitting a low shot that went just wide.

Eboue wasted a golden chance for the Gunners
In the 37th minute, Arsenal where given the chance to open the score line when Van Persie was brought down in the area by Philippe Mexes.
