Hassan is struggling with Anderlecht this season

Ahmed Hassan's Anderlecht suffered an early elimination from the UEFA Champions League following a 2-0 home defeat to Turkey's Fenerbahce on Wednesday.

Serbian striker Mateja Kezman opened the scoring as early as the second minute and Brazilian Alex sealed the victory 13 minutes from time.

Egypt skipper Hassan played the full match but couldn't help the Belgian champions escape a costly defeat.

Fenerbahce went through 3-0 on aggregate after winning the first-leg 1-0 at home.

Arsenal crushed Sparta Prague 3-0 at Emirates Stadium to book their place in the UEFA Champions League group stage with a 5-0 aggregate win.

Czech midfielder Tomas Rosicky grabbed the lead after seven minutes before Cesc Fabregas doubled the lead eight minutes from time.

Croatian striker Eduardo Da Silva completed the rout just before the final whistle as Arsenal eased into the group stage.
