Result: Arsenal 2-1 Borussia Dortmund

Arsenal have progressed through to the knockout stages of the Champions League with a 2-1 win against Borussia Dortmund at the Emirates Stadium.

In a first half of little action, the German side saw Sven Bender and Arsenal target Mario Goetze both taken off with injuries.

The Gunners made the breakthrough soon after the restart when Robin van Persie headed in Alex Song's cross after a powerful run from the midfielder.

The Dutchman bagged his second of the match with five minutes to go when he was able to knock the ball in at the far post.

Shinji Kagawa pulled one back for the Bundesliga side, but it was too little too late.
