    Time for a lie down I think. Job done for Arsenal as they make it 17 seasons in a row in the Champions League group stages.

    But the final word has to go to Ludogorets defender and stand-in goalkeeper Cosmin Moti. Legend.

    Goodnight.

    Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on BBC Radio 5 live:

    "He (goalscorer Alexis Sanchez) had a good game. Not only on a technical side, but on a fighting side.

    "He was mobile, dangerous and he showed a great a fighting spirit that will serve him well in the Premier League.

    "We produced the performance we wanted on a tactical, technical and mental side.

    "But we couldn't finish off the game of and it was nervous at the end when we were down to ten men."

    QPR manager Harry Redknapp on BBC Radio 5 live: "You give players an opportunity and you hope they can take it. But they didn't' take the opportunity tonight.

    "Nobody wants to get beat. You want to win every game. We came here - I picked a strong team on paper - with senior players, but they were poor and didn't take the opportunity.

    "We were short of quality tonight."

    Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert on BBC Radio 5 live: "I'm really disappointed.

    "Leyton Orient took their chances and we didn't take ours. Darren Bent, who is deadly from that range, would normally get you one.

    "The goal we conceded was poor and I didn't think we were strong defensively.

    "The team I picked was strong. I expected us to win the game."

  8. Moti the heropublished at 22:35 British Summer Time 27 August 2014

    Absolutely astonishing. Let's recap that last 10 minutes of madness.

    In the last minute of extra time Bulgarian side Ludogorets Razgrad have goalkeeper Vladislav Stoyanov sent off against Steaua Bucharest. Centre back Cosmin Moti, a Romanian, is forced to go in goal for the penalty shootout with all three substitutions having already been made.

    Moti steps up to convert the first penalty before saving two of Bucharest's to send his side into the Champions League group stages. He was probably four yards off his line when he saved the decisive kick but who cares? What a story.

    The celebrations will go on long into the night.

    Besiktas manager Slaven Bilic talking to Sky Sports: "It was a very open game. It was a very bad time to concede.

    "I was banned enough (to comment on the potential penalties) but we are very disappointed, we are gutted because we played good in both and are close to qualifying for Champions League against great opponents. Of course we are gutted.

    "Those couple of chances we had to score but we didn't. Congratulations to Arsenal they had the experience and quality up front when needed.

    "I can't blame Demba Ba but you have to score that goal."

    Bilic again declined to comment on the penalty incidents at the end of the interview.

    Simon in Woking: Oh dear doom mongers and naysayers. Arsenal have let you all down again by qualifying for the Champions League for a 17th consecutive year AND in a most un-Arsenal style. Gutted.

    Andrew: Arsene Wenger is mad to think he currently has enough up-front in this Arsenal squad to make ends meet this season. But in true Arsene Wenger style he'll still probably guide Arsenal to a fourth place finish and Champions League football in May. But if he wants to win anything of note at this football club again he must invest in a proven world-class striker.
