Arsenal has qualified from its Champions League group after only four matchdays - thanks to Mesut Ozil’s exquisite late winner against Ludogorets - but Arsene Wenger might well resist the temptation to celebrate on the flight home from Sofia.
The Bulgarians led 2-0 inside 20 minutes and were unable to stem the flow of a far superior Arsenal side but in many ways the hard work still lies ahead. Finishing second in the group is as good as a death sentence for Arsenal and that will play on the Gunners' minds with Paris Saint-Germain now looming on the horizon.
