Arsenal playmaker Santi Cazorla, who was responsible for setting up Yaya Sanogo and Alexis Sanchez in their win against Borussia Dortmund, is still hoping that his side will be able to top Group D in the Champions League even if the odds are very much against them.

The Gunners will need to their final group stage fixture against Galatasaray while Dortmund must lose versus Anderlecht in order for such situation to happen, since they are trailing the German club by 2 points.

"It's very important because you can play against teams that aren't Barcelona or Real Madrid when you finish first," said the Spanish international.

"It's difficult because Dortmund lost and now they play at home, whereas we go to Galatasaray away. We want to win the last game."

Meanwhile, Cazorla feels that their recent victory is a good jumpstart to get them going in the Premier League on Saturday (AEST), as they face a tough West Bromwich Albion squad.

"The team pressed high today. We had a good spirit and we played very well," he intimated.

"We need to continue to play like we did in this game and we need to focus on the league again."
