Arsenal have got at least one foot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League after battering PSV 7-1 in Eindhoven.
The first leg of the last 16 tie could scarcely have gone any better for the Gunners as they ripped their host to shreds, becoming the first team in Champions League history to score seven or more goals away from home in a knockout match.
Jurrien Timber, Ethan Nwaneri and Mikel Merino scored the first three for Mikel Arteta’s men before Noa Lang scored from the penalty spot just before half-time.
That was no start of a comeback, though, as Martin Odegaard scored straight after the break and Leandro Trossard netted again 90 seconds later.
Gunners captain Odegaard made it six on 73 minutes and the Dutch fans were leaving in their droves, many did not see Riccardo Calafiori score the seventh in the dying minutes.
