Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard scored goals as Arsenal cruised into the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

The Gunners beat the minnows 3-0 in the Champions League group stages on Wednesday. After the game, Arteta was asked if Zagreb played the way he had anticipated. He stated: “Until yesterday we didn't really know. We prepared the game, especially with two different formations, because of what the managers have done in the past.

Oddly enough, Zagreb’s two wins in the Champions League came on the road — 2-0 over RB Salzburg (with an RB red card) and 4-1 over Slovan Bratislava. They were also mauled by Bayern Munich 9-2 on MD1 and lost 3-0 to Borussia Dortmund at the end of November.

Goals from Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard seal a comfortable victory for Arsenal against Dinamo Zagreb and leave the Gunners all but qualified for the Champions League last 16.

A fifth win in their seventh European fixture of the campaign against Dinamo Zagreb all but assures the Gunners a place directly in the last-16 courtesy of having a three-point cushion on the teams scrapping for 8th and a healthy +12 goal difference to boot.

Declan Rice scored the winner and first Champions League goal of his career in Arsenal's victory over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.

Legendary Italian defender, Fabio Cannavaro, was capped by his nation on no less than 136 occasions. But having taken charge of Zegrab ahead of the Croatian League’s winter break, this was the 51-year-olds first opportunity to see his new charges in competitive action.

Declan Rice gives Arsenal an early lead in the Champions League, as he scores within the first two minutes to put them 1-0 up against Dinamo Zagreb.
