Arsenal eased past Celtic to reach the Champions League group stage. Eduardo's 25th-minute penalty, a contentious award after he clashed with Celtic keeper Artur Boruc, extended the Gunners' two-goal first leg lead. Emmanuel Eboue finished a sweeping move for Arsenal's second after 53 minutes and Andrey Arshavin added another two minutes after coming on as substitute. Massimo Donati's spectacular angled volley pulled one back for Celtic, but they now go into the Europa League. BBC
Arsenal continued their impressive start to the season with a resounding victory over struggling Portsmouth. Abou Diaby opened the scoring with a first-time finish from Eduardo's cut-back and doubled the lead when he tapped in Emmanuel Eboue's cross. Younes Kaboul headed in to give Portsmouth hope but Arsenal responded when the ball rebounded off William Gallas's face and into the net. Aaron Ramsey slotted home a Robin van Persie pass to seal the hosts' win. BBC
Arsenal enjoyed the rub of the green as they established a commanding Champions League play-off lead against Celtic. A Cesc Fabregas free-kick on the stroke of half-time flew into the net off the back of William Gallas as the defender crouched to avoid the ball. And midway through the second half Celtic skipper Gary Caldwell diverted a Gael Clichy cross into his own net. The manner of the goals were harsh on the hosts, who faded after an energetic first half and posed little threat. Celtic worked hard to contain Arsene Wenger's side but it was a largely comfortable evening for the Gunners back four. BBC
Arsenal produced a scintillating opening-day display to hammer a woefully out-of-sorts Everton. Denilson fired Arsenal ahead with a curling 25-yard strike before new signing Thomas Vermaelen doubled their lead with a header from a free-kick. William Gallas headed the third before two Cesc Fabregas goals made it 5-0. Gunners substitute Eduardo was on hand to tap in a late sixth before Louis Saha rolled in the most inconsequential of goals for Everton in injury time. BBC
Arsenal booked their place in next season's Champions League with a win that means Portsmouth are still yet to secure their Premier League status. Pompey goalkeeper David James gifted Arsenal the opener when he fumbled Nicklas Bendtner's header into his net. The Dane then grabbed a second from the penalty spot after Sean Davis was ruled to have fouled captain Andrey Arshavin. Carlos Vela lashed home a third. Arsenal's victory moves them 13 points clear of fifth-place Aston Villa. They are now mathematically guaranteed to finish at least fourth. BBC
