Gunners manager Arsene Wenger was full of praise for his side and singled out Russia playmaker Andrey Arshavin.

“It was a brilliant performance. We dominated technically, tactically and were never under threat. We played with confidence and overall I’m very happy,” Wenger said. “Arshavin was outstanding. He gave the ball every time at the fraction of the second you wanted to give it. That is top, top quality. I believe this season we are getting stronger from game to game. It is important to keep that attitude to progress and improve.”

In the night’s other match, Standard Liege defeated Olympiakos 2-0.
