Alexis Sanchez scored twice and Mesut Ozil headed the other goal as
never-say-die Arsenal beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 on Tuesday and kept alive
their hopes of reaching the Champions League last 16 for a 16th straight
season.
The Gunners, whose chances of advancing looked remote after defeats by
Dinamo, Olympiakos Piraeus and Bayern Munich in their opening four
matches, were given a huge helping hand by Bayern Munich who thrashed
the Greeks 4-0 in the other Group F match.
Those results mean that Bayern are through to the knockout round and
Arsenal will join them if they beat Olympiakos by two clear goals in
Greece on December 9.
Bayern have 12 points, Olympiakos have nine, Arsenal are on six and
Dinamo have three. If Olympiakos gain at least a point against Arsenal
they will go through instead of the London side while Dinamo are already
eliminated and will finish bottom.
