Arsenal beaten by late Porto stunner in CL last-16 first leg

FC Porto stunned a drab Arsenal side with a wonderful last-minute winner from Galeno as the Portuguese side took a Champions League last-16 first-leg win to London. 

After scoring 11 goals in their last two Premier League games, the Gunners had an off-night in Portugal and failed to register a shot on target for the first time in two years - and were left aghast as Galeno cut inside and hit a superb long-range effort past David Raya in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

Galeno should have put Porto ahead in the first half when he missed two sitters from close range - first hitting the post then somehow putting an even better chance from the rebound wide.

Arsenal's best chances came from set pieces as William Saliba, Gabriel and Kai Havertz put efforts from dead ball situations wide. But Galeno's dramatic winner means Mikel Arteta's side will have to come from behind to progress to the quarter-finals when the second leg comes around on March 12.
