Arsenal 2-0 Standard Liege

Arsenal booked their place into the last 16 as Champions League Group H winners as they beat Standard Liege 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners progress to the knockout stage while Liege will have to win their final game to stand any chance of qualifying.
It was a totally commanding performance from Arsene Wenger's men who were never in any trouble and never got out of third gear.
With Arsenal needing a draw to progress, it would have been easy for Premier League side to sit back and play for the point they required.
Instead, Wenger's side bossed the game from start to finish completely overshadowing their Belgian opponents who hardly threatened.
Thomas Vermaelen played a long ball towards Samir Nasri on the right-hand edge of the penalty area on 35 minutes. A back-tracking Reginal Goreux slipped as it dropped over his shoulder allowing Samir Nasri to stroke it past Sinan Bolat into the far corner.
Denilson made it 2-0 with an absolute screamer from 30 yards on the stroke of half-time. The midfielder, returning from injury, struck a swerving effort that moved in the air leaving the goalkeeper with egg on his face.

It could have been 3-0 on numerous occasions with Cesc Fabregas, Emmanuel Eboue and Theo Walcott all going close in the second period.
Standard Liege did have their chances. Dieudonne Mbokani hit a post after turning on the edge of the box with the game at 0-0. William Gallas was lucky not to concede a penalty after he bundled Goreux to the ground inside the area. Alex Witsel also struck an upright in the second half as Liege searched for what would have been a mere consolation.
Late on Mehdi Carcela-Gonzalez was sent off for violent conduct.
But Arsene Wenger's side progress and their can now rest players for their final group game.
