Arsenal desperately needed a victory against Dinamo Zagreb to keep their Champions League hopes alive, and they didn’t disappoint in an emphatic 3-0 win at the Emirates Stadium.
There were doubts before kick-off about whether Gunners fans still care about this year’s competition after their poor showings so far…
Never seen the Emirates so empty. Feels like a lot of Arsenal fans have already given up on this CL campaign

The Emirates is deserted with just five minutes to kick off. Reckon this will be lowest ever crowd for top game.

But the team didn’t seem to notice, cruising into an early lead courtesy of Mesut Ozil’s header.
Brilliant counter-attack from Arsenal. All started with superb footwork from Cazorla. Great assist from Alexis. #ozil

And here’s what the Gunners have to do to make it all worth it in their final game against Olympiakos.
Can they still reach the last 16?
