Arsenal's hopes of securing an early place in the last 16 of the Champions League ended in frustration on Wednesday as Group G's bottom club Fenerbahce clung on for a 0-0 draw at the Emirates.

The Gunners failed to turn their domination into goals with Fenerbahce's goalkeeper Volkan Demirel and some last-ditch defending keeping the home side out.

Robin van Persie came close on several occasions for Arsenal with one first-half effort clipping the bar.

Fenerbahce showed little desire to go forward, although the draw keeps their slender chance of reaching the knockout round hanging by a thread. Arsenal remain top with two matches left.
