Arsenal vs. Standard Liege 2-0
Arsenal confirmed their safe passage into the last 16 of the Champions League following a comfortable 2-0 victory over Standard Liege, the club which contracted Armenian national team halfback Hrach Yagan, at the Emirates Stadium. 

First-half goals from Samir Nasri and Denilson - both of which came via mistakes from visiting players - ensured the Gunners progressed as Group H winners with one match still remaining. 

Arsene Wenger made five changes to the side that lost at Sunderland in the league on Saturday, but the likes of Cesc Febregas, William Gallas and Andrey Arshavin all started in a strong looking line-up. 

There was no repeat of the horror start which the Gunners endured in Belgium on match-day one when they found themselves two goals down inside five minutes before bouncing back to win 3-2. 

The home side roared out of the starting blocks and dominated possession with their trademark quick passing and intelligent movement, football.co.uk reported.
