Last night, Arsenal faced a pivotal challenge in the Champions League following a recent setback against Lens. Mikel Arteta’s squad rose to the occasion, securing a victory against Europa League titleholders, Sevilla, in Southern Spain.
Gabriel Martinelli’s crucial goal just before halftime, assisted by Gabriel Jesus, set the tone. TJesus then shifted gears, becoming the scorer in the second half, extending the lead to 2-0.
Despite Nemanja Gudelj’s effort to narrow the gap for the Spaniards, the Gunners had to endure a nail-biting finish, showcasing their resilience.
Here are the Highlights from Spanish TV, which I will replace with the official UK highlights when available..
Looking forward, Arteta’s focus turns to a home clash against Sheffield United on Saturday, where his team strives to maintain their unbeaten record in the Premier League this season.
Despite the win, I think Martinelli should learn how to place the ball in the net on one v one with goalkeepers without going round them. That chance could have been put to bed without going round the Sevilla keeper before. It could have cost us. He did same and squander a chance before burying this one. We should not let the win get over us such petty mistakes should be worked on.
Lol, never seen such an unbelievable comment about a fabulous goal and you think Martinelli should learn how to place a shot? You obviously haven’t watched him much.
