Excellent result in Turkey last night for #Arsenal 3 away goals



Arsène Wenger’s side were pretty enough before the break. But after it, they would find a punch as well.
And the knockout blows were landed by Aaron Ramsey.
In Arsenal’s last visit to the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in 2008 the Welshman, then 17, netted his first goal for the Club in injury time as the visitors roared home 5-2.
This evening he returned to show he was a more mature midfielder capable of controlling a game.
Six minutes after the break, his exquisite pass sent Theo Walcott clear down the right and the Englishman crossed for Kieran Gibbs to net his first European goal for Arsenal.
Just past the hour, Ramsey did it all by himself; cruising through midfield and firing home from just outside the box.
Those goals killed the game (and potentially the tie). Olivier Giroud’s late penalty just started nailing down the coffin lid.
