Arsenal v Twente stats/ratings

Check out our exclusive match stats and player ratings from the Champions League third round qualifying tie between Arsenal and FC Twente.

In truth the tie was over from the first leg when Arsenal won 2-0 in Holland, but Arsene Wenger's side did not let up in the return leg putting on a superb show for the near 60,000 in attendance.

Samir Nasri, William Gallas, Theo Walcott and Nicklas Bendtner all hit the net as Arsenal romped to victory over Steve McClaren's side.

Who was England's best player?









Setanta readers' comment of the day

“While all big teams (Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool) were busy protecting their best players, Arsenal was in forefront encouraging injury prone Walcott to participate in that useless freindly. Arsenal has a very thin squad and I remember Walcott said it but Wenger didn't take action to add some players. Arsenal players are not made of steel and Wenger should be prepared for such situation. We need Arsenal supporters on the board of Arsenal who can feel the way we feel when the team is losing and they can force Wenger to buy some experience players. Current board members are only interested in profits yet they (profits) don't go into history of the club”
