 Arsene Wenger got the response he demanded as Arsenal secured a place in the last 16 of the Champions League with a 2-0 win over Standard Liege at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners boss had called for his side to raise their game in the wake of a lacklustre defeat at Sunderland - and his pre-match rallying call had also included reminding Arsenal's World Cup hopefuls of just who pays their wages. Even without injured Holland forward Robin van Persie, the Premier League side - who host leaders Chelsea on Sunday - had too much class for the Belgians. First-half goals from Samir Nasri and Denilson, smashing in a 30-yard strike, set the Gunners on their way to the knockout stages of Europe's elite club competition for the 10th campaign in succession as they won Group H with a match to spare.
