Wiltord In From The Start As Arsenal Are Beaten !
Sylvain Wiltord was in the Arsenal starting line-up as they went down 1-0 to Leeds United at Elland Road yesterday. The Gunners had seven players booked along the way and manager Arsene Wenger was restrained from reaching the match referee Dermot Gallagher at the end of the game. Silvinho almost managed to give Arsenal the lead around the half-hour mark, when Robinson could only parry his shot back to the Brazilian who set up Wiltord for a great chance only to see the Frenchman waste his shot with a very poor effort. Wiltord went on to waste two good second-half chances before finally being replaced by Kanu shortly after hitting the post.

Arsenal Held In Bore-Draw !
Sylvain Wiltord played for the full 90-minutes as bottom of the table Derby County held Arsenal to a goal-less draw at Highbury this afternoon. It was probably Arsenal's sloppiest performance so far this season and Derby had the best of the chances, but Wiltord was Arsenal's most dangerous player with his lively movement throughout the game. He played Thierry Henry clean through for Arsenal's best and only real chance of the game but Henry stroked his shot wide of the far post, then late in the game he forced a good save from Mart Poom with an effort from 20-yards out.

Arsenal Beaten In Ukraine !
Several of Arsenal's big name players, including Sylvain Wiltord, featured in tonight's Champions League game against Shakhtar Donetsk. Arsenal had been cleared by UEFA to field an under-strength team as they had already secured their qualification to the next stage of the competition but Arsene Wenger surprised many observers with the inclusion of many of his leading lights. With the score standing at 0-0 Wiltord had a first half 'goal' disallowed, he picked up a loose ball on the edge of the area and curled it around the keeper into the net, but an offside was given against him. There was some dispute as to whether or not the goal should have stood and the incident could have proved to have been the turning point of the game. Early in the second half, with the Ukranian's leading 1-0, Wiltord combined well with Thierry Henry but another offside was given as Henry rounded the Ukranian keeper and slipped the ball into the empty net. Wiltord played for the full 90-minutes as Arsenal went down 3-0 to the Ukranian team, their first defeat of their current Champions League campaign, though Arsenal still finished top of their Group table.
