A record 6,900 attended the game at Schwarzlackenau Stadium and it was the home fans who were singing first. Patrick Lehner capitalised on an unfortunate Manuel Almunia error, guiding the ball past Arsenal’s no.1.

Nicklas Bendtner hit back within 45 seconds. The Danish hitman scored from close range after a defensive mistake was exploited by Abou Diaby.

Highly-rated Aaron Ramsey then struck a terrific shot before Bendtner bagged his second just minutes before half time.

After a whole host of changes were made by Arsene Wenger it took a while for the Gunners’ to settle. When they did, Robin van Persie slotted home a penalty and headed in a Sagna cross to make it five.

It was William Gallas who got in the act next with a deft header, then Aaron Ramsey secured his brace thanks to a bullet strike past Markus Lipovski.
