Arsenal's Santi Cazorla has urged his teammates to prove that they have recovered from their earlier "nightmare" result against Anderlecht in the Champions League.

The North London outfit delayed qualifying for the knockout rounds by throwing away a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 at the Emirates last month.

After securing a 2-0 triumph over Borussia Dortmund the last time out, Arsenal can top the group, but they will need to beat Galatasaray tonight and their German rivals will have to succumb to defeat against Anderlecht.

In an interview with FourFourTwo magazine, Cazorla said: "The Anderlecht game was a nightmare for us. To be leading them 3-0 and then allowing them to come back from three goals down in your own home is unacceptable.

"It's something inexplicable that happened to us and we have to get over it, we have to show everyone that we can react well and in the right way, even though it looks like we'll be second in the group instead of first."

Arsenal head into tonight's contest on the back of a 3-2 defeat to Stoke City in the Premier League.
