PSV Eindhoven 1-7 Arsenal


We swept aside the Dutch champions in Eindhoven, recording our biggest ever away win in the Champions League.
 
It was all action from the moment Jurrien Timber headed us into the lead from close range at the far post. Ethan Nwaneri soon doubled the lead, thumping home his fellow academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly’s cross.
 
Mikel Merino – playing up front again - extended our advantage further, winning the ball well inside the area before slotting calmly into the corner. Three goals in 13 devastating minutes.

The hosts ended the half with the momentum though, Noa Lang scored a penalty conceded by Thomas Partey’s foul.

There was no letup in the second half. After a rapid double from Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard within minutes of the restart, Odegaard added his second and our sixth from long range then set up Riccardo Calafiori for a magnificent seventh on a record-breaking night.
