Arsenal vs. Fenerbahce

2-0, Champions League, Emirates Stadium, 27.08.2013
Ramsey 25, 72

This was a fairly comfortable win, especially considering the fact that we had the 3-0 win from the previous game.

We took the lead almost half an hour into the game through Aaron Ramsey, who has been brilliant in recent games! Podolski produced a brilliant pass for the Welshman to fire past the 'keeper! Giroud had a couple of chances as well before the first half was over but we had to settle for a one goal lead going into half time.

Early on in the second half Podolski was stretchered off with a hamstring injury and is expected to be out for quite some time. Walcott fired a free-kick onto the crossbar before Aaron Ramsey was at it again, doubling our lead through a classy strike following a brilliant cross by Gibbs. Miyachi was introduced towards the end and showed some quick feet and good passes before the game was over!

So with this we made it into the group stage, as we have consistently for many years, of the Champions League!

Injury Update:
- Koscielny was fit enough to start on the bench for this game.
