Gunners substitute Viktor Gyokeres curled in with six minutes remaining of an end-to-end second period, ensuring his side stayed perfect as their opponents suffered a third straight defeat of the league phase.

With a win, Arsenal now set their longest-ever winning streak in Europe’s premier club competition and will now finish no lower than second in the table, securing a passage to the last-16 as well as home advantage in the second leg in the knockout phase.

Meanwhile, Tottenham boosted their chances of claiming a top-eight place with a convincing 2-0 win over Dortmund.

The home side started strongly and went ahead when Cristian Romero turned in Wilson Odobert's low cross. Daniel Svensson was then sent off and Spurs added a second soon after as Dominic Solanke marked his return from injury with a goal.

The home side protected that 2-0 lead in the second half confidently and could have added to it, some promising chances falling for Xavi Simons.

Elsewhere, Manchester City were beaten 3-1 by Bodo/Glimt to dent their hopes of finishing in the top eight of the Champions League.

Bodo/Glimt’s central striker Kasper Hogh struck twice in the first two minutes of the first half for the Norwegian side as they caught out the Blues on the counter-attack to set up a famous victory.
