Ruthless Gunners keeps champions league hopes alive

Arsene Wenger's side kept their champions league hopes alive yesterday with a convincing win against Dinamo Zagreb to remain relevant in the struggle for a round of 16 spot along side already qualified bayern.

The gunners who had lost three of their four group games obviously needed some rays of hope as the pressure continues to pile on them to do the needful if they must qualify.

With a 3-0 bashing at the Emirates, the gunners got the much needed three points to send the right signals as they coast the game in good ambience of soccer flair.

Similarly, the music soon got better for Arsene Wenger's side when bayern in far away Munich crushed Olympiakos so convincingly as they needed nothing more other than the four goal thriller they got in style.

The gunners who started the game on a nervous note in the first 15 minutes of play struggled to find the back of the net so earnestly. However, in the usual stylistic pattern of play, they soon find their rhythm right which eventually paid off in the 29 minutes quick break that saw Alexis Sanchez who connects Ozil that guilded the ball past Eduardo with a close range header to put Arsenal in lead.

The gunners continued their assault which paid up swiftly in the 33rd minutes of play as monreal won back the the ball who picked Sanchez at the middle of the six yard box. The Chilean international did the needful as he calmly and quietly thundered home a second to give the gunners a comfortable two goal lead.

Dinamo Zagreb will soon find their keeper helpful in subsequent quick target efforts from Santi Carzola and Olivier Giroud  who obviously would have increased the tally but thanks to the brilliance of Eduardo. 

Eduardo's booster soon got exhausted in the 69th minutes when ever ready Sanchez who took advantage of moving upfront with Giroud been substituted for fit again Ramsey made an instant impact to round up the game with scentilating pass from Joel Campbell. 

With this win, the gunners will have to travel to Anthens next month in a much desired win over crushed olympiakos for a qualification ticket.
