Russian powerhouse Spartak Moscow put in a good performance to beat Slovakian side Zilina 3-0 on Tuesday evening. Highly rated attacker Ari showed his side the way by netting a brace, but the former AZ star pointed out that it was the team's performance that resulted in the full three points.

"This was a team performance, so I shouldn't get all the credit just for scoring two goals. I scored twice but couldn't have done so without my team-mates," the Brazilian attacker was quoted as saying by uefa.com.

"We have had a really good start to our Champions League campaign, but that's exactly what we were looking to do in our opening two games.

"We all know we've got a couple of very hard matches against Chelsea coming up, but obviously these victories will give us a lot of confidence going into the games."

Spartak Moscow sit joint first in the table in Group F of the Champions League with six points from two games.
