Stalemate in Istanbul.
Arsenal battled it out to a goalless draw against Besitkas in Turkey.
Demba Ba almost scored a wonder goal at the start of the game.He belted the ball towards the Arsenal goal straight after kickoff and almost caught Wojciech Szczesny napping.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain returned the compliment to Besitkas – rattling their woodwork in the last minute of the game.
Aaron Ramsey got a red card.The Besiktas manager, Slaven Bilic, got sent out of the dug – out and someone chucked a bottle at Wenger when he was leaving the arena at the end of this ill tempered first leg.
