Arsenal Take Control In Istanbul

aiteo

Arsenal established a commanding lead after the first leg of their Champions League qualification play-off as they saw off a poor Fenerbahce in Istanbul.

After losing 3-1 in their league opener to Aston Villa, a goalless first half raised tensions among the visitors.

But Kieran Gibbs tapped in Theo Walcott’s cross before Aaron Ramsey’s 20-yard shot slipped by Volkan Demirel.

Olivier Giroud converted a penalty after Michal Kadlec’s foul on Walcott to seal a morale-boosting win.
