The Gunners travel to Serbia without Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas but can be confident following their last Champions League outing, the 6-0 drubbing of Braga
Despite the three-quarter light, Jack Wilshire shines brightest for Arsenal and sets up Andrey Arshavin with a clever bit of footwork to open the scoring for the away side
The second half comes to life when last man Marko Jovanovic brings down Marouane Chamakh in the box, Jovanic is sent off but Vladimir Stojkavic, once of Wigan, saves Arshavin's spot kick
But the extra man makes the difference for Arsenal and the constant pressure since Arshavin's miss sees Chamakh score on the rebound after Stojkovic can only valiantly tip the Moroccan's header against the bar
Despite the home side's stoic defence and the efforts of Stojkovic, the Gunners add a third with eight minutes left when Sebastien Squillaci heads home Samr Nasri's corner
