Their keeper made some good saves, think the 1st Madueke chance was maybe the best but lacked conviction. Martinelli electric, hopefully it's not a big problem for him.
Everything but the goal at this point.

Red card 100% deserved, but we also have 4 players on yellow cards and it won't take much for it to become 10 v 10.
Think the manager needs to be smart, lower some of thoseodds from the bench at HT

Couldn't make the man advantage count. It's good to have the attacking players back, but probably fair to say there's a degree of rustiness to all of them.
2 wins and a draw in a very hard week not a bad return though.

That's a big blow. We have depth, but he's been one of our most important players so far.
Time for others to step up now.

Second goal was really lovely from Trossard and Merino, the third made it safe, so we could make changes.
4 from 4 in the CL so far this season, 0 goals conceded, 12 scored. And with the players we're missing, that shouldn't be taken for granted.
Momentum.

Gyokeres with his best performance in an Arsenal shirt so far, scored one, and the pass in the build-up to the second goal was 👌
A solid platform to take into the break.

Two lovely open play goals ("should backheels be allowed?!!). MLS assist for Ethan is lovely, but a great flick from Merino in the build-up.
Saka off the bench to score. Youngsters did well. Another clean sheet.
Solid night's work.

Maybe a bit of a hangover from midweek, but Eze had the moment of quality to earn three points.
With Man City and Liverpool both losing, this was a really big win.

A much more encouraging performance from Arsenal, Zubimend in particular really stood out – you can see how he's going to influence our play this season.

I don't think 1-0 is terrible going into the away leg, 2nd half was improved but they were a crossbar away from it being 2-0 and that would likely have been that.

Assisted both goals tonight. Huge goal in the first leg.
Out of position.
