Arsenal went two behind early against Ludogorets after goals from Jonathan Cafu and Claudiu Keseru gave the Bulgarian the perfect start.
But Granit Xhaka and Olivier Giroud got Arsenal back into the game before Mesut Ozil scored a stunning late goal to secure the Gunners’ qualification to the Champions League last-16.

Ramsey was pleased with the win and hopes the Gunners can carry their momeuntum into Sunday's north London derby with Tottenham.
"It was difficult after we went 2-0 down but we showed great character and belief to come back into the game," Ramsey told BT Sport.
"We got the goals before half-time and that helped the half-time team talk.
"It was a tough game, but an enjoyable one and I’m obviously delighted to be back.
"They have some top quality in their team and caught us on two counter-attacks and we paid the price for that, but we never give up and we showed great belief.
“I’m delighted to be back and that's what I need tonight, to start a game and get minutes under my belt and that will put me in good shape now.
