Nicklas Bendtner struck a hat-trick as Arsenal outclassed Porto to overturn a first-leg deficit with ease and clinch a place in the last eight of the Champions League. Bendtner - heavily criticised after a succession of misses in Saturday's win against Burnley - was a relieved man after a clinical display after Arsene Wenger decided to stick with the Dane for the crucial encounter.
