Unfolding at the Emirates Stadium last night, Arsenal retained their grip on the Group B top spot in the Champions League, winning 2-0 against Sevilla.
Despite a ‘played-down’ injury from Mikel Arteta, who limped off with damage to his ankle, the team maintained their four point cushion with just two games left to play.
With their defeat to Newcastle at St James’ Park fresh in their minds, the team were energised, holding Sevilla back for the majority of the first half.
Joeginho set Saka up for the first goal of the game, setting the tone for the second half where, despite increased ball possession for Sevilla, Arsenal’s effort remained strong.
Taking advantage of Sevilla’s second half tweaks, Arsenal pressed on, closing defense gaps and securing another goal. Curling the ball into the far corner, Saka shone and secured headlines.
Fans have been celebrating on twitter and Arsenal midfielder commented, “[Arsenal] were frightening. Every time they had the full-backs 1v1, they drove at them and I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that to be honest with you.”
Arsenal will next take on Burnley on Saturday 11 November.
