Nicklas Bendtner, left, and Samir Nasri were in good form at the Emirates last night
Nicklas Bendtner struck a hat-trick as Arsenal outclassed Porto to overturn a first-leg deficit with ease and clinch a place in the last eight of the Champions League. Bendtner – heavily criticised after a succession of misses in Saturday’s win against Burnley – was a relieved man after a clinical display after Arsene Wenger decided to stick with the Dane for the crucial encounter.

Robben scored a 30-yard scorcher to put Bayern into the quarter-finals
