Arsenal put their recent scoring problems behind them with an emphatic 7-1 win over PSV on a historic Champions League night in Eindhoven.
The Gunners went into the game facing questions about their firepower but goals from Jurrien Timber, Ethan Nwaneri and Mikel Merino put Mikel Arteta’s team three up before the break and Noa Lang’s penalty proved to be a false down for pitiful PSV.
Martin Odegaard scored either side of Leandro Trossard’s dinked finish in the second half to put this round of 16 tie well beyond the Dutch side even before next week’s second leg in London. Riccardo Calafiori made it a magnificent seven to cap the night.
In doing so, Arsenal became the first team to score seven goals away from home in a Champions League knockout tie. A quarter-final with the winner of the Madrid derby awaits amid renewed hope that the Gunners can enjoy a special end to this season. (SkySports)
