Ramsey sent off, but Arsenal earn draw in Istanbul

Champions League play-off first leg, Ataturk Olympic Stadium - Besiktas 0 Arsenal 0

Aaron Ramsey was sent off for the first time in his club career, but Arsenal did enough to earn a 0-0 draw at Besiktas in the first leg of their Champions League play-off at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium.Arsene Wenger's side know that any sort of win at the Emirates Stadium next Wednesday will see them through to the group stage for a 17th straight season, but the Turkish side will take heart from avoiding shipping an away goal.Ramsey walked for a second booking after hauling back Oguzhan Ozyakup, but substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain came close to winning it for the Premier League side when his run and shot ended with Zengin tipping an effort onto a post with three minutes remaining.Former Chelsea forward Demba Ba almost scored in the opening seconds for the home side when his effort from kick-off came back off the bar from the halfway line with Wojciech Szczesny toiling to get back before palming the ball onto his woodwork.(uk.eurosport.yahoo.com)Bakudaily.Az
