Arsenal 6-0 BATE Borisov: Arsene Wenger full of praise for his players in 700th victory as Gunners manager

Arsene Wenger hailed a "stylish" win as his Arsenal side hammered BATE Borisov to wrack up his 700th victory as Gunners boss.

Arsenal were already assured of their place in Monday's round of 32 draw after securing top spot in Group H ahead of an impressive 6-0 win over the Belarusian champions in front of a sparse Emirates Stadium crowd.

Mathieu Debuchy, Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere and Mohamed Elneny all got on the score-sheet while Denis Polyakov scored an own goal and Olivier Giroud converted a penalty.

Arsenal, who could draw the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Napoli or Celtic in the draw for the knockout stages, were comfortable throughout as less than 30,000 fans watched on - a record low for the Emirates.
