Arsenal beat Zagreb to all but secure last 16 spot
Arsenal have all but secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League with a comfortable 3-0 win over Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb at Emirates Stadium.
Only a heavy defeat in Girona next week will prevent the Gunners - who are third - finishing in the top eight places and therefore bypassing the play-off stage of the competition.
Arsenal took the lead in the second minute when Gabriel Martinelli's cross was cushioned into Declan Rice's path by Kai Havertz and the England midfielder hammered the ball past Zagreb keeper Ivan Nevistic.
Havertz added a second on 66 minutes - the 500th goal under manager Mikel Arteta - when he headed in a curling Martinelli cross before captain Martin Odegaard bundled in a third late on.
Zagreb barely ventured into the Arsenal half and captain Arijan Ademi shot well over from distance with one of their few efforts.
The Gunners could have scored more - Rice had a shot blocked after a clever Odegaard pass while centre-back Gabriel headed wide from the edge of the six-yard-box from a corner.
