Deadline day signing and club record signing Mesut –zil made his first Champions League start for The Gunners and it didn't take long before he broke the deadlock and bagged his first goal for the club. The ball was played up field by Bacary Sagna to fellow Frenchman Olivier Giroud, who chested the ball down and released Aaron Ramsey into space.
