Arsenal’s great stars, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, did not disappoint the team on Wednesday as they beat PSV Eindhoven 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners wrapped up victory in their opening Group B game with a scintillating first-half display that saw them race into a 3-0 lead on a rain-soaked night in north London.
Saka opened the scoring after eight minutes, pouncing on a rebound when PSV keeper Walter Benitez could only push Martin Odegaard’s into the England winger’s path.
Saka was involved again when Arsenal doubled their advantage 12 minutes later, laying the ball perfectly into Leandro Trossard’s pass for a smooth low finish after Jesus had broken clear.
Jesus was outstanding and thoroughly deserved to add Arsenal’s third seven minutes before half-time with a rising drive that gave Benitez no chance.
