Arsenal took a big step towards the knockout stages with the emphatic win.
Mesut Ozil, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Hector Bellerin and Shkodran Mustafi have all taken to Twitter to celebrate Arsenal’s emphatic 6-0 win that has taken the Gunners to the brink of qualification for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
With Arsene Wenger’s men high on confidence going into the game, Ludogorets would have surely gone to the Emirates looking to frustrate the home side for as long as possible in the hope that that frustration would allow the Bulgarian outfit the chance to spring an upset.

But the game remained goalless for just 12 minutes as Alexis Sanchez scored a delightful chip. And while it appeared that it would remain just 1-0 going into the break, Theo Walcott doubled Arsenal’s lead three minutes before half-time.
Any chance of a second-half fightback was immediately crushed as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain put the game to bed one minute after the restart before Ozil took centre-stage.

The German is often the provider at the Emirates, but on this occasion, he was the man finding the back of the net as he scored a hat-trick in just over half an hour to round off the humiliation.
After the game, a handful of players took to social media to celebrate the victory. And while Ozil was keen to acknowledge his first treble, the general feeling was one of determination as Oxlade-Chamberlain suggested that the side must now switch their attention to their upcoming Premier League clash with Middlesbrough this weekend.
