Pogrebniak at the double to sink Marseille

Andrei Arshavin's late first-leg goal proved decisive as Zenit St Petersburg progressed to the Uefa Cup quarter-finals after a 2-0 second leg win over Marseille in Russia. Pavel Pogrebniak struck a brace as the Russian champions claimed an away goals success after avenging their 3-1 first-leg defeat in France. The Russia international opening the scoring in the 39th minute after he latched onto Arshavin's headed through-ball and slotted past Steve Mandanda. Pogrebniak struck his seventh goal of the Uefa Cup campaign, and sealed the French side's exit with 12 minutes remaining. The 24-year-old deftly took Fatih Tekke's lay-off in his stride before firing past the despairing Mandanda as Zenit march on.
