The Gunners, derided for their lack of courage after last weekend's calamitous defeat by Stoke, barely needed a strong constitution as they toyed with the Turks' defence in a one-sided first half.

But yet again their accuracy in front of goal lacked the precision of their approach play with Robin van Persie the most wasteful.

Van Persie, banned from the next three English Premier League games after being sent off against Stoke, could have put them out of sight at half-time on his own.

Impressive Fenerbahce goalkeeper Volkan Demirel played a crucial role in keeping Arsenal at bay.

Juventus secured its passage to the knockout stage after seeing off Group H rivals Real Madrid 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu.

After setting Juve on their way with the opening goal in their 2-1 win over Madrid last time out in the competition, Alessandro Del Piero was again the hero with a goal in each half.

The hosts had chances to get back into the game, but were left to rue a number of mistakes as they fell four points adrift of their Italian rivals in the group.

Ten-man Zenit St Petersburg claimed its first win in Champions League Group H at the expense of BATE Borisov 2-0 on Wednesday.

Goals in each half from Pavel Pogrebniak and Miguel Danny were enough to lift Zenit off the foot of the standings, even though it played the last 17 minutes with one man fewer following the dismissal of Sebastien Puygrenier.

The Russians now have their sights on second-placed Real Madrid, while BATE slips to the bottom of the pile without a win in four attempts.

Villarreal was frustrated in its attempts to claim a place in the last 16 as it was held to a 2-2 draw by a battling AaB side.

Despite twice taking the lead through Giuseppe Rossi and Guillermo Franco, the visitors were pegged back by replies from Jeppe Curth and Anders Due which earned the Danes only their second point in Group E.

Villarreal is level on eight points with Manchester United, with the two teams set to meet in Spain on November 25.

Lucho Gonzalez scored a stoppage-time winner for Porto before being sent off as the Portuguese champions came from behind to beat Dynamo Kiev 2-1.

Host Kiev put itself in the driving seat in the 21st minute when Artem Milevskiy finished off a great passing move with a cool finish.

But Porto fought back with second-half goals from Rolando and then Lucho to win the game and move into second place in Group G.

Bayern Munich put one foot in the knockout stages after earning a late point at Fiorentina through a 1-1 draw.

The Germans, who remain unbeaten in Group F and are top on goal difference, had to come from behind at the Stadio Artemio Franchi with Tim Borowski's 78th-minute effort cancelling out Adrian Mutu's well taken early opener.

Bayern could have guaranteed its passage to the next stage with a win, but will be confident of qualification with eight points, alongside Lyon, which beat Steaua Bucharest 2-0.

Fiorentina has just three points after four games and has a mountain to climb to make it through.
