Arsenal delivered a historic performance in Eindhoven, thrashing PSV 7-1 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

This emphatic victory marked the Gunners’ biggest away win in the competition’s history and all but secured their place in the quarter-finals.

Jurrien Timber opened the scoring early, followed by goals from Ethan Nwaneri and Mikel Merino, giving Arsenal a 3-1 lead by halftime.

In the second half, Martin Ødegaard scored twice, with Leandro Trossard and Riccardo Calafiori adding to the tally.
