Arsenal 1-0 Besiktas

Arsene Wenger puffed out his cheeks and strode purposefully down the tunnel. He knew he had been in a game. So did his players. Alexis Sanchez, the matchwinner and hero of the night, and Santi Cazorla, a tireless worker in midfield, were walking gingerly, hobbling even. They had completed 90 minutes but it had taken its toll. This will have made happy viewing in the households of Nigel Pearson and his Leicester City players, Arsenal�s opponents on Sunday.
