WANDERERS (4-3-3)

JUSSI JAASKELAINEN ... 6

Helpless to keep out two close range strikes; little else to test him

ANTHONY BARNESS ... 6

The Gunners' left flank, Ljungberg in particular, kept him busy

BRUNO N'GOTTY ... 8

He looks a class act, even in this illustrious company

GUDNI BERGSSON ... 7

Will he stay or will he go? How sad if this was his last Reebok game

SIMON CHARLTON ... 6

Had a few interesting tussles with Parlour

KEVIN NOLAN ... 7

So close to scoring and giving Arsenal an anxious last quarter

PER FRANDSEN ... 7

Still plugging away for that World Cup trip with Denmark

GARETH FARRELLY ... 6

Struggled to get into the swing on his surprise return; better second half

YOURI DJORKAEFF ... 7

Prodded and probed, looking for a way through but was closely watched

Looked lively in the first half hour but Adams and Keown were unbeatable

Had Wanderers' best first half opportunity but could not make it count

ARSENAL (4-4-2)

Handling and positioning were immaculate but well beaten when Nolan hit the post

Rarely under pressure, never looked in any trouble

An odd lapse or two blotted an otherwise impressive copybook

TONY ADAMS ... 8

Always the boss, always in control; we expect nothing less

Loves to get forward; rattled the bar late on

His near miss from 25-yards sparked Arsenal into life

Played it simple but still highly effective

EDU ... 7

Did a good job in a a quality midfield

Took his goal well and always looked a potential threat

Man of the Match

DENNIS BERGKAMP

THERE is something about the dashing Dutchman that suggest he is never going flat out. But with his skill there is no need. Two delightful assists, two goals. Game over.

Moan of the Match

THE result and the performance were of no consequence. The big disdappointment was knowing this could be Gudni Bergsson's last appearance at the Reebok.

Magic Moment

NEVER mind the game, the moment to savour came after the final whistle when the happy Wanderers went on a lap of honour to celebrate their survival.

GOAL!

Bergkamp is the provider again, this time teeing up Wiltord who finishes with consumate ease.
