Arsenal vs. Standard de Liège

The opening goal at Emirates Stadium came after 35 minutes when Standard defender Mulemo slipped and allowed Samir Nasri to direct the ball past keeper Bolat.

And the Gunners doubled the lead just before the break, as a stunning distance strike from Denilson was insufficiently deflected by Bolar.

In the second half, Arsenal were happy to keep the ball on Standard's half without creating many opportunities.

That approach failed once, as a Standard break-through had Mohamed Sarr's low show bounce off the post.

Standard's Mehdi Carcela-Gonzalez was sent off with a direct red card in the 86th minute.

While Arsenal get to prepare for their second round tie, Standard defend their third place, and a ticket to the Europa League, on the final match-day.
