Samir Nasri, Alex Song and Nicklas Bendtner were on target as Arsenal struck a blow for the old guard by beating 10-man Manchester City 3-0.

City had been looking to reclaim second place in the Barclays Premier League but hopes of a fifth successive win were all but dashed with the early sending off of Dedryck Boyata at Eastlands.

Nicklas Bendtner silences his recent critics with a hat-trick as Arsenal see off Porto in emphatic fashion to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
