Arsenal 2-1 Barcelona: Arsenal have the home advantage in their first match of the Champions League knockout stages, and their fans create a cauldron of noise as kick-off approaches

Both sides start the first half at a canter, each displaying moments of sparkling quality. However Barcelona begin to exert their control on the match, and they go one up when David Villa is put through and he coolly slots home

Arsenal have a stronger second half, but it appears their efforts may go unrewarded until Robin Van Persie takes Gael Clichy's ball close to the by-line and lashes past Victor Valdes at his near post

Five minutes later and the Emirates is in ecstasy. Samir Nasri squares for Andrey Arshavin to smash home from the edge of the box. A night to remember and Arsenal head to Camp Nou on 8 March with a lead

Roma 2-3 Shakhtar Donetsk: The other round of 16 match takes place at the Stadio Olimpico. Simone Perotta gives the home side the lead with a header, but Brazilian Jadson levels for Shakhtar with a deflected drive

Douglas Costa’s left-footed strike turns the tie around in Shakhtar’s favour and the Ukranian side have more to celebrate when Luiz Adriano robs John Arne Riise and slots home to give them a two goal lead at the break

Jeremy Menez surges forward and curls a shot into the top-corner to give Roma hope, but Shakhtar hold on for the win. They return to the Donbass Arena with an away goal and one eye on the quarter-finals

Wigan 0-1 Bolton: The two Premier League sides meet in a FA Cup fourth-round replay in front of a sparse crowd at the DW stadium. It was 0-0 at the Reebok and neither side breaks the tie's deadlock in the first-half

The goal comes in the 66th minute, Ivan Klasnic is played in by Mark Davies and finishes to send Bolton through. They go to Fulham in the fifth round on Sunday, while Wigan are left to concentrate on their relegation battle

Scunthorpe 1-0 Nottingham Forest: The fans at Glanford Park haven’t seen a win since August, while Forest are 10 matches unbeaten. But Chris Dagnall’s 19th minute goal is enough to give Scunthorpe a shock win
