Arsenal winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has expressed his belief that his side's comeback win over Anderlecht has given them an excellent chance to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League.
The Gunners trailed going into the final minutes of the game against the Belgian side, but two late strikes from Kieran Gibbs and Lukas Podolski fired Arsene Wenger's men to a vital victory.
The result left Arsenal second in Group D as they trail Borussia Dortmund by three points after taking six points from their first three matches in the group stage.
Oxlade-Chamberlain told the club's official website: "If we hadn't have got that result it definitely would have left us with a lot to do and a tricky few games coming up.
"It was a really important game for us and that result was really crucial because, without a win there or at minimum a draw, we would have been left right in it with a tough uphill climb.
"Winning that match does leave us in a more favourable position for the last few games coming up."
Arsenal face Anderlecht again in their next Champions League outing on Tuesday at the Emirates Stadium.
