The Gunners delivered a solid 2-0 victory over PSG, stretching their unbeaten run under Mikel Arteta to 15 matches. With a buzzing Emirates Stadium behind them, Arsenal took charge right from the start. Bukayo Saka nearly got the party started with a curling shot that just missed Gianluigi Donnarumma’s post. PSG had a couple of close calls, including a Nuno Mendes shot that rattled the woodwork, but it was Arsenal who struck first. Leandro Trossard made a dazzling run and cross from the left, setting up Kai Havertz to nod in the opener on 20 minutes.
PSG struggled to break through Arsenal’s well-organized defense, led by the ever-reliable Gabriel. The Parisians found themselves on the back foot for most of the match, and Arsenal capitalized, doubling their lead just before halftime. After being fouled by Mendes, Bukayo Saka curled in a free-kick that left everyone, including a shaky Donnarumma, in its wake, giving the Gunners a comfy 2-0 lead.
In the second half, Arsenal managed the game with confidence, with Gabriel Martinelli almost adding a third, only for Donnarumma to pull off a great save. PSG tried to claw their way back, with João Neves hitting the crossbar and Lee Kang-in forcing a fine stop from David Raya, but Arsenal weren’t about to let their lead slip. Mikel Arteta even brought on Mikel Merino for his long-awaited debut after injury, bolstering the Gunners’ midfield as they cruised to victory.
PSG’s struggle against Arsenal continued, with the French side now winless in five encounters with the north Londoners. With this win, Arsenal leapfrogged PSG in the UCL standings, and now they’ll shift their focus to the upcoming Premier League clash against Southampton.
Can Arsenal keep this momentum going in their Premier League campaign and continue their European adventure?
