Arsenal scored its second win in the current Champion's League season as they coasted to a 2-0 win over Napoli. Napoli, the Italian side is also an opening day winner when it ambushed last year's runner up Borussia Dortmund.
Right after kick off, Arsenal's football machine went to work. Displaying their trademark fluid attacking, Arsenal made several opportunities and at the same time, dominate possession.
Real Madrid recruit Mesut Ozil open up the scoring table when his right footed one touch shot. Bacary Sagna pass the ball to Oliver Giroud who shielded it when he finds an overlapping Aaron Ramsey. Ramsey then deep in the right flank field of Napoli fired a cross to an open Mesut Ozil on the opposite side to deliver his elegant shot.
Seven minutes later, Napoli defender Miguel Britos made an erroneous pass to Mathieu Flamini. Flamini then pass the ball to Olivier Giroud who taps it to Mesut Ozil on his left. Mesut Ozil then drives on the right flank and drops it to Olivier Giroud at the center who shot at close range.
Napoli sorely missed the services of former Real Madrid star, Gonzalo Higuain who sat out the entire game. The scoring chores was assigned to Goran Pandev who found a hard time finding the goal. He was later subbed by Dries Mertens in the late second half.
