Arsenal's Stunning 7-1 Victory Puts Them on the Brink of Champions League Quarter-Finals

Arsenal have more than one foot in the Champions League quarter-finals after scoring seven goals in an extraordinary away win against a hapless PSV Eindhoven.

The Gunners had been struggling for goals in recent weeks, failing to score in three of their last four games. However, Mikel Arteta’s side sparked into life with a devastating 7-1 victory that all but seals their place in the next round.

First-Half Brilliance

Arsenal wasted no time asserting their dominance, with Jurrien Timber opening the scoring early. 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri followed up with a composed finish, and makeshift striker Mikel Merino put the visitors in an almost unbelievable position before half-time.

PSV did manage to pull one back when Noah Lang converted from the penalty spot, but any hopes of a comeback were crushed immediately after the break.

A Ruthless Second Half

Just seconds into the second half, Arsenal restored their three-goal cushion through captain Martin Odegaard. Leandro Trossard added another two minutes later, before Odegaard bagged his second of the night. Riccardo Calafiori rounded off a remarkable evening for the north Londoners with a seventh goal.

With next week’s second leg at the Emirates looking like a mere formality, Arsenal are set to progress to the quarter-finals, where they will face either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid. This dominant display will certainly send a message to their future opponents.
