Arsenal 2-0 Borussia Dortmund: Arsenal end Dortmund's perfect record to reach last 16

Arsenal qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League for the 15th successive season when they ended Borussia Dortmund's 100 percent record in Group D with a 2-0 win at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.

The hosts needed only 73 seconds to take the lead with 21-year-old French striker Yaya Sanogo scoring his first goal for the club and the Gunners sealed victory when Alexis Sanchez curled in a wonderful strike from 20 metres.

It was his third goal in five Champions League appearances in the competition proper for Arsenal, the same total he managed in 24 games for Barcelona.

Borussia, who had already secured their place in the last 16, top the table with 12 points from their five games, but Arsenal can now pip them to first place if they win their last match at Galatasaray and Borussia fail to beat Anderlecht, who like Galatasaray, are eliminated.
