Arsenal assured themselves of finishing atop the Group H standings with their 2-0 home win over Standard Liege. Samir Nasri (35') and Denilson (45'+2, that's him celebrating) provided the scoring for the Gunners.
At Alkmaar, Netherlands:
AZ Alkmaar were eliminated from Champions League contention after being held to a 0-0 home draw with Olympiacos, who are now one point away from clinching a berth in the knockout stage. AZ's Jeremain Lens (in the red jersey) is seen challenging for the ball.
