Arsene Wenger upbeat as Arsenal set up final-day shootout

Arsenal 3 Dinamo Zagreb 0: Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil underlined their potential to become one of Arsenal’s most consistent double acts as they combined to beat Dinamo Zagreb and keep the club’s Champions League hopes alive.

Sanchez, of course, with his remarkable workrate, pace and spectacular finishing has always been a home banker in matches like these — and he duly obliged with two well-taken goals — but the emergence of Ozil as a man who earns eight out of 10 in every match is something new that can give Arsenal fans hope their team will not always been as frustratingly inconsistent as they have been this week.

The Gunners went into the match having inexplicably ended their recent Premier League winning run with a frustrating defeat at West Brom and knowing only three points against Zagreb would keep them in the Champions League, having lost the opening two matches of a stuttering campaign.
