Arsenal striker Chamakh breaking records in Europe

Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh is breaking records in Europe.

He has become the first player to net in SIX successive games in the Champions League - although three were with former club Bordeaux last season.

Chamakh, 26, who scored the fifth goal in Arsenal's 5-1 thrashing of Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday, has also been on target against Braga and Partizan Belgrade this term. He said: "I'm just hearing about the record.

"I'm happy about it and hope it carries on.

"We're off to a good start in the competition. The win is good for the squad because we can concentrate on Manchester City now."
