Instant payback! £32m man Sanchez

Instant payback! £32m man Sanchez sees 10-man Arsenal safely through to Champions League after tense battle against Besiktas

Arsenal

ARSENAL 1-0 BESIKTAS (Arsenal win 1-0 on aggregate) - MARTIN SAMUEL AT THE EMIRATES STADIUM: They will be there, in pot A, business as usual on Thursday afternoon. But it was tight. Tighter than it has been for many year. Too tight for comfort, by the end. Down to ten men with 15 minutes to go, Arsenal were a goal away from departing the Champions League before the serious stuff gets underway for the first time since the last century. Tony Blair was in his first term as Prime Minister when Arsenal were last absent from the league stage of the competition, and this was as close as it has been for them since.
