Ludogorets 2-3 Arsenal: Gunners come from two goals down to reach last 16

Arsenal fought back from two goals down to beat Ludogorets 3-2 and secure qualification to the Champions League knockout stage.

A horror start saw Jonathan Cafu and Claudiu Keseru send the hosts into a stunning lead, but Granit Xhaka and Olivier Giroud levelled the tie before half-time, with Mesut Ozil scoring a stunning goal minutes from the final whistle to claim victory.

The game started at a frenetic pace, the hosts making their presence felt with two early goals.

It was actually Arsenal who were having the better of the play, but some shambolic defending from the Gunners allowed Cafu to steal in and volley Wanderson’s free-kick past Ospina.
