Though Campbell grew in confidence and stature during the game, he has yet to attain that formidable peak of performance that he achieved, with the greater responsibility he accepted as captain, at White Hart Lane.However, defensive fallibility is not purely the remit of defenders. Arsenal manifestly miss the presence of Emmanuel Petit, who together with Patrick Vieira, provided such an effective guard for the Arsenal back line in their time together. Evidence that Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Wenger’s £8.5m summer acquisition from Rangers, can effectively fulfil that role – his preferred one – is steadily being produced by the Dutchman. Against Mallorca, he had to cover for Cole at left-back, where he plays for Holland, and apart from being a keen tackler he is an excellent exponent of the measured cross, as he exhibited when supplying Dennis Bergkamp for his headed goal.But elements of his display, not least the quick-witted manner in which he released Henry into uncontested opposition territory for that third, and decisive, goal with a perceptive, swiftly taken free-kick, must commend him to his manager as the long-term midfield partner of Vieira (assuming, that the Frenchman’s own Highbury future is long term). It has not been a facile transition from Scottish to English Premier League for the 26-year-old.

“I came to Arsenal determined to achieve things and this is the first time I’ve been in the second round [of the Champions League]. It’s great for me to compete against all the big teams of Europe,” van Bronckhorst said “Rangers are a fantastic club. But you’re playing in Scotland and if you play there too long your development will stop. When I sensed that I wasn’t going forward any more, I knew it was time for me to change direction.”However, the Dutchman, who played for his home city club, Feyenoord of Rotterdam, and RKC Waalwijk before joining Rangers, admitted: “It’s been very busy for me in the last month, coming to a new club and finding a new house, and my wife had a baby boy three weeks ago. It’s all been very hectic, but now everything is settled at home.

The coach [Wenger] has been very patient, and told me I’ve been getting stronger and stronger.”It was Bergkamp who was instrumental in his countryman’s move to north London, that association helping Arsenal beat Chelsea to van Bronckhorst’s signature. Between them, they appeared to have secured the 2-0 lead that the Gunners required, until Mallorca breached the home defence. Yet, mystifyingly, rather than protect a scoreline which would have kept them in the competition the visitors surrendered possession, and space for Arsenal to profit from it. The fact that it was Henry who exploited it in added time had almost been inevitable from the moment that Sir Alex Ferguson had declared the previous night that Ruud van Nistelrooy was European’s pre-eminent striker.Much though van Bronckhorst admires his fellow Dutch “van” man, the midfielder recognises that Arsenal’s prospects of advancing further into Europe depend on the scoring instincts of a player who has failed to score in only four of Arsenal’s matches this season “He’s right there [with van Nistelrooy],” he said.
