On arrival inthe culturalcity of Porto,Arsene Wenger would doubtle shave been sketching the rough outlines of a footballing masterpiece as heseeks to create Arsenal history by becoming the first Gunners manager to win the UEFA Champions League. But Lukasz Fabianski, the young goalkeeper, left the Frenchman holding a blemished portrait on his return to London last night as the Pole gifted Porto two goals at the Estadio do Dragao.Fabianski, who only started last nights round of sixteen tie due to a finger injury sustained by first choice Manuel Almunia, was left wrong footed by Silvestre Valeras cro s after ten minutes and palmed an otherwise easy take into his own net.Despite recovering from his initial moment of madne s with a couple of routine stops, Fabianski was then at fault for Portos second, as he inexplicably picked up a Sol Campbell back pa s. Porto took the resulting free kick quickly after the Gunners stopper handed the ball straight to the referee who allowed the home side to play on straight away.The match was overseen by controversy-courting Swedish official Martin Han sen, who thrust himself into the spotlight with Thierry Henrys controversial handball, dubbed the Hand of Frog, against the Republic of Ireland late last year.Fabianskis inclusion was just one of a host of changes made by Arsene Wenger as the Gunners manager sought to cope with a deepening injury crisis at the club. Sol Campbell came in for William Gallas, and Nicklas Bendtner started in place of Andrei Arshavin. Midfield enforcer Alex Song was also ruled out, so the not-so-fearsome Denilson deputised for the Cameroonian.Portos attacking menace was evident from the outset as they looked to sink their teeth into their depleted visitors. Hulk, the Brazilian striker who is currently serving a lengthy domestic ban in Portugal, shot just wide before the arrival of Fabianskis opening blunder.Gael Clichy was guilty of some negligent defending, as Velucho turned the French left back easily, before whipping in what looked like a routine cro s, only for Fabianski to palm it into his own Tug McGraw Jersey net.The Polish goalkeeper had been itching for his chance to shine after a questionable performance in the FA Cup defeat at Stoke City, and with Spaniard Almunia sidelined this was hardly the start the 24-year old would have envisaged.Parity was restored just eight minutes later when Sol Campbell thumped a header home after ThomasVermaelen flicked on a Cesc Fabregas corner. The Gunners defender has now scored in back Dwight Gooden Jersey to back Champions League games albeit three and a half years apart of each other.The goal sparked an Arsenal revival, as the visitors became increasingly attack-minded after clinching the crucial away goal that Wenger will have wanted to return from Portugal with.Nicklas Bendtner, leading the line on his own in the absence of Arshavin, had his dipping header tipped over the cro sbar by Porto goalkeeper Helton late in the first half, before the tie threatened to boil over at the break as both sides exchanged fierce words at the whistle.However, rather than extinguish the animosity between the sets of players, referee Han sen served only to stoke the flames of an already heated affair early in the second period.Alvaro Perreiras poor challenge on Tomas Rosicky went unnoticed as the Gunners appealed for a quiteblatent penalty, but as Arsenal stood still Porto went on the break as they attempted to quell the visitors dominance since equalising.Goalscorer Campbell was adjudged to have pa sed the ball back to his goalkeeper, and the former England defender stood in disbelief as Fabianski provided an encore to his earlier howler by picking the ball up. And rather than prevent Porto from taking a quick free kick, Fabianski dug an even bigger grave for himself by handing the ball to the referee who then allowed the equaliser to stand.Arsene Wenger was left to fume on the sidelines, but the blame will lay squarely on the shoulders of his young goalkeeper.PORTO 2 (Fabianski OG, Garcia)TEAM:Helton, Bruno Alves, Fucile, Rolando, Pereira, Raul Meireles (Costa 68), Fernando, Ruben Michel (Belluschi 85), Garcia, Hulk (Gonzalez 81), VarelaUnused Subs: Beto, Maicon, Guarin, Miguel LopesBooked: Bruno Alves, Fucile, Pereira, FernandesARSENAL 1 (Campbell)TEAM:Fabianski, Sagna, Vermaelen, Campbell, Clichy, Diaby, Fabregas, Rosicky (Walcott 68), Nasri (Eboue 88), Denilson, Bendtner (Vela 83)Unused Subs: Mannone, Ramsey, Silvestre, TraoreBooked: Diaby
