While Mikel Arteta’s side were brilliant on the night, Peter Bosz’s PSV side also played their part, still averaging 53% possession in the match, managing to create three big chances, taking 12 shots and generating 1.

It made any high-scoring predictions for Tuesday’s meeting with PSV seem fanciful but as manager Mikel Arteta said in his post-match press conference, “That’s the beauty of football.” Advertisement The 7-1 win in the first leg of a Champions League round of 16 tie was the first time Arsenal had scored that many goals in a single match under Arteta.
