 The Scotsman - Sport - More woe for not so able Seaman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Seaman was beaten twice in the first 27 minutes, firstly by Olivier Kapo’s long-range drive and then by a close-range lob from Khalilou Fadiga, as Arsenal stumbled to a 2-0 half-time deficit after their weekend loss at Everton.
Seaman dived at the feet of Benjani as the French side’s striker threatened to rush through on goal, but spilled the ball in the wet conditions into the path of Yann Lacheur, who shot wastefully over the bar from 12 yards out.
Seaman was caught in no- man’s land between trying to smother the ball and retreating to his line, while Fadiga simply took advantage by nipping in and nonchalantly lobbing his shot over the keeper’s head.
