Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal's target is still to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League and not to slip into the Europa League, after his side thrashed Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium this evening.

It took 29 minutes for Arsenal to take the lead when Alexis Sanchez picked out Mesut Ozil with a pinpoint cross, allowing the German to head into the net.




Sanchez was determined to score himself and did so in the 33rd minute to make it 2-0.

Poor defending from Dinamo Zagreb let Nacho Monreal square the ball for Sanchez, who was left with a simple finish.
 


Arsenal killed off any hopes Dinamo Zagreb had of getting back into the game when they made it 3-0 in the 69th minute.

Sanchez scored his second and Arsenal's third after Joel Campbell picked him out with an expert ball.

It ended 3-0, meaning it is all on Arsenal's last match away against Olympiacos to see if they can reach the last 16.

And Wenger is still confident, saying he is not planning for a Europa League campaign.

He said on BT Sport: "The Europa League is not the target. Let us give everything to remain in the Champions League."

The Arsenal boss also believes his men do have a chance, adding: "It promises to be a very interesting game, but at least we have a chance."

Wenger further had warm words for Ozil's performance against the Croatians tonight.

"I think Mesut Ozil had an outstanding first half; he has got the taste for scoring now.

"I have never seen Ozil in the box so many times as in the last five or six games", he added.
