Arsenal striker Robin van Persie was honest in saying the Gunner’s first goal was a stroke of luck but also added this result should see Arsene Wenger’s side qualify for the next round of the Champions League.

The Dutchman told Sky Sports:

If you look at the first goal, it was a good free-kick and William’s run made that goal. But it was very lucky.

The second goal was a good attack and in the end their centre-back needed to make the touch. Again it was lucky.

They played really well but you know if you score just before half-time it is a setback for them. We kept going and it was a good result.

Ahead of the next leg, he added:

Nothing is impossible but it’s looking good for us.
