Arsenal progress into the group stage of the Champions League after defeating Udinese away 2-1 on the night and 3-1 on aggregate.

Arsenal have progressed into the group stage of the Champions League after defeating Udinese away 2-1 on the night and 3-1 on aggregate.

The home side took the lead five minutes before half-time when Antonio Di Natale headed in.

The Gunners made the breakthrough after the interval when captain Robin Van Persie slotted home from Gervinho's cut back.

The hosts could have gone back in front when a penalty was awarded after a Thomas Vermaelen handball. Di Natale stepped up to take the kick, which Wojciech Szczesny stretched to save.

The turnaround was complete on 70 minutes when Theo Walcott outpaced the Udinese defence to hit home.

The Champions League group stage draw takes place tomorrow (Thursday) in Monaco.
