After being booed and jeered throughout the 3-1 loss at home to the Midlands side, Arsene Wenger’s depleted side picked themselves up and performed fantastically in Turkey against Fenerbahce.
Wenger’s nostalgia
There were some standout performances in Istanbul, leaving boss Arsene Wenger drawing similarities from last season’s incredible 2-0 Champions League win against Bayern Munich.
