Ajax foil Gunners bid to clean-up

Arsenal 0 Ajax 0

The hard work had already been done with five straight wins - their best start in the competition - so last night’s encounter was always going to be a low-key affair.

Manager Arsene Wenger used the match to give several of his fringe and young players a taste of Champions League action, but they still created enough chances to win, with Quincy Owusu-Abeyie not enjoying the best of nights in front of goal.
