// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Arsenal striker Robin van Persie accepted that both goals against Celtic owed plenty to good fortune. The Gunners came away from the first leg of their UEFA Champions League qualifier at Celtic Park on Tuesday with a 2-0 lead, but it took a deflection from William Gallas and a Gary Caldwell own goal to seal the result.And while Van Persie believes Arsenal helped to create their own luck, he admits Celtic were hard done by."If you look at the first goal, it was a good free-kick and William's run made that goal, but it was very lucky," he told Sky Sports."The second goal was a good attack and in the end their centre-back needed to make the touch. Again it was lucky."They played really well but you know if you score just before half-time it is a setback for them. We kept going and it was a good result."
