UCL: Arsenal Keep Hopes Alive To Qualify For Next Round

1 Min Read

Arsenal has kept their hopes of Champions League progression alive with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb.

Chilean forward, Alexis Sanchez provided the assist for Mesut Ozil to open the scoring after 29 minutes, Sanchez found the net either side of half-time to wrap up a vital win.

With just one Group F win to their name prior to Tuesday’s tie, Arsene Wenger’s side needed three points at the Emirates Stadium to stand any chance of reaching the last 16.

After dominating possession without threatening early on, they eventually opened the scoring when Ozil capped a well-worked attacking move.

Sanchez doubled the advantage12 minutes from the interval, before rounding goalkeeper Eduardo to complete the scoring in the 69th minute.

The result leaves Arsenal needing a two-goal victory at second-placed Olympiacos – who were thumped 4-0 at Bayern Munich – to guarantee progression in a fortnight.
