FC Twente 0 – 2 Arsenal

Arsenal took control of their UEFA Champions League qualifier against FC Twente with a 2-0 win in Holland.

Arsene Wenger was forced to field a youthful side with many key players missing through injury, and the midfield duo of Aaron Ramsey and Denilson struggled in the first half.

Twente looked bright but squandered a glorious opportunity when Marko Arnautovic was thwarted by Manuel Almunia just before the break.

The Gunners were much improved in the second half and broke the deadlock on 63 minutes when William Gallas scrambled home Robin Van Persie’s free-kick.

Emmanuel Adebayor grabbed the second from Theo Walcott’s pass in the 82nd minute to leave Arsenal in a dominant position ahead of the second leg at Emirates Stadium.
