Sporting CP 1-5 Arsenal

We turned in one of our best away performances in the Champions League in recent memory to secure a statement win in Lisbon.

Against the reigning Portuguese champions – unbeaten all season and second in the Champions League league phase going into the game – we netted three without reply in a dominant first half. Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz put us two to the good before Gabriel headed in from a corner on the stroke of half-time.

An early second-half goal from Goncalo Inacio gave the hosts brief hope, but Bukayo Saka’s penalty and Leandro Trossard’s late goal from a parried Mikel Merino shot gave the scoreline gloss on a remarkable night in Europe.

The travelling Arsenal supporters were left to celebrate our biggest away win in the competition since beating Inter by the same score in 2003.
