Nicklas Bendtner scored a hat-trick as Arsenal superior Porto to overturn a first-leg shortage to reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League with a remarkable 5-0 success at the Emirates Stadium.

The Danish forward scored twice in the first 25 minutes to put the Gunners in charge, before the gorgeous Samir Nasri and Emmanuel Eboue put the result beyond doubt in the second half.
It was then left up to Bendtner to exhaustive the rout with a final minute penalty after Eboue had been felled in the area.
The result also end Arsenal's unwelcome almost 32-year run of failing to overturn a first-leg wantage in a European clash since victory over Hajduk Split in 1978.
