Aaron Ramsey scored a goal straight out of a video game last night as Arsenal dominated Galatasaray to record a 4-1 win in a half empty stadium in Istanbul .
The goal, his second of the evening, was a stunning half-volley, with his body twisting, that flew past goalkeeper Sinan Bolat and into the top corner at 56mph.
The goal was so good even Galatasaray fans stood and applauded.

Good distribution but was far more troubled in trying to understand Ramsey’s stunning volley as he held his head in his hands in disbelief. 6

Galatasaray 1 Arsenal 4 player ratings Matthieu Debuchy Will have feared a far greater test as he looked for match fitness but will be pleased he got 75 first-team minutes under his belt without being unduly exerted. Even if he looked tired as he felt the pace in the later stages and looked relieved to be subbed. Booked, but brave and solid. 7

Galatasaray 1 Arsenal 4 player ratings Per Mertesacker Easy night after his nightmare at Stoke. Superb saving challenge yards out from his line as he threw his body in front of Bulut’s close range strike to deny a goal. Never troubled in the air or on the deck. 7

Galatasaray 1 Arsenal 4 player ratings Callum Chambers Looked far more assured than he did in the Potteries. Always determined and kept his shape well. A good experience for the youngster. 7

Galatasaray 1 Arsenal 4 player ratings Hector Bellerin Early challenge helped Balta pull his shot wide and always looked to push on and provide a pacy attacking option on the flank - even if he left gaps behind him at times. 6

Galatasaray 1 Arsenal 4 player ratings Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Showed his trademark surging runs when he powered through the heart of the Gala defence before feeding Ramsey for his goal. Harnessed finesse and strength as he played with a point to prove. Outstanding in the first half. 8

Galatasaray 1 Arsenal 4 player ratings Mathieu Flamini Booked for a late challenge in the opening stages but his combative nature wasn’t required as his more attacking colleague won the game in the opening half. Subbed on 45 minutes. 6

Galatasaray 1 Arsenal 4 player ratings Aaron Ramsey Simply majestic. Showing his impressive engine by running 40 yards to slot the ball home for Arsenal’s second. Showed his impressive technique and improvisation when he volleyed into the top corner from 30 yards before the half hour. Influential and dangerous in completely bossing the midfield in the 45 minutes he played. 9

Galatasaray 1 Arsenal 4 player ratings Joel Campbell Offered a flash of Thierry Henry when opening his body up in a one on one with Bolat. Unfortunately the comparison ended there as his shot flew wide. Disappointing. 6

Galatasaray 1 Arsenal 4 player ratings Yaya Sanogo Industrious, and showed great willing, but his lack of effective movement and leggy technique saw him mired in the Gala defence. 6

Galatasaray 1 Arsenal 4 player ratings Lukas Podolski Showed his hammer of a left foot in the second minute which flew into the top corner of the near post giving Bolat no chance. Almost repeated the feat in the 19th minute when he powered a shot which clipped the bar, and again six minutes later when Bolat palmed another near post effort wide. Always lively and interested - rewarded by his second goal with the last kick of the game. Booked. 8

Galatasaray 1 Arsenal 4 player ratings Gedion Zelalem On for Ramsey for his Champions League debut playing just behind Sanogo. Showed occasional nice touches and vision. Still a lot to learn but will have enjoyed the experience. 6

Galatasaray 1 Arsenal 4 player ratings Ainsley Maitland-Niles Moved into Flamini’s role as he reduced the team’s average age significantly. Wasn’t intimated and showed lots of youthful promise – but then most youngsters do who are schooled by Arsenal. 6

The strike, somehow swinging in at the last minute, not only caused a storm on the internet, but Arsenal team-mates Wojciech Szczesny (above) and Yaya Sanogo (below) were left equally stunned, with priceless reactions to the goal.
Arsenal fans said it should already be considered for next year's Puskas Award - given for best goal in a calendar year.
After the match, Ramsey said: "The ball came to the edge of the box and I thought, 'why not have a go?
"So I had a go and it went in." He later admitted on Twitter that it was the best goal he'd scored in his career.
Below are some of the best Tweets:
Arsenal supporters will be hoping that Ramsey, who has struggled for form this season, will return to the level he was playing at last season, when he scored 15 goals in the opening three months of the season.
