The winners and the losers

Before the first leg it was Chelsea fans who were fretting about their goalkeeper. In the event, Marco Ambrosio has proved as safe as houses compared to Jens Lehmann.
The German's gaffes, first seen in the group stage defeat to Dynamo Kiev in October, effectively cost his side the tie and Arsene Wenger may be lamenting his failure to recruit a more secure stopper in the summer. Come back Safe Hands, all is forgiven.
After failing to charge down Eidur Gudjohnsen at Stamford Bridge, Lehmann also made the crucial error here, and his inability to hold a Claude Makelele drive enabled Frank Lampard to level the scores.
And the winner was . . . Ambrosio

Cole v Bridge

Wayne Bridge has spent most of his career in the shadow of Ashley Cole but last night, under the watchful eye of Sven-Goran Eriksson, he finally got the better of his England rival.
Whether it will be enough to catapult himself above Cole into Eriksson's starting line-up for Euro 2004 remains doubtful, but this was definitely Bridge's night.
Cole actually began the better of the two, linking well with Robert Pires and almost creating a headed goal for the Frenchman just before half-time. He also contributed defensively, clearing Eidur Gudjohnsen's shot off the line in the 85th minute, but Bridge had the last laugh with a fine winning goal.
And the winner was . . . Bridge

Vieira v Lampard

Frank Lampard and Patrick Vieira have become good friends in recent months and the Chelsea midfielder has obviously picked up some tips. Even a year ago this contest would have been a mismatch but such has been Lampard's development he can now go toe-to-toe with the best. Vieira had the better first half, controlling the game as Arsenal bossed the opening exchanges, but after the interval those long legs turned to lead and Lampard took advantage. His appetite and workrate appears to be ceaseless but the Frenchman's energy levels have been ground down and at times last night he looked close to being weary. Consequently Lampard was everywhere - and slotted home the equaliser after 51 minutes.
And the winner was . . . Lampard

Henry v Hasselbaink

It was a quiet night for the strikers. While Henry went close several times and should have opened the scoring in the 19th minute after a great ball from Reyes, he drifted out of the game and was substituted nine minutes from time with a hamstring problem. Hasselbaink was also hauled off early after being largely anonymous.
The one notable display from a striker came from Reyes, whose tricks, flicks and exquisite f i rst touch were the highlight of the first half. The Spaniard has a glorious future and did not deserve to be on the losing side.
And the winner was . . . Reyes
