Arsenal defeated Atlético Madrid 4–0 at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday to remain perfect through three games in the Champions League.
A first half that started excitingly lacked end product for both sides. The second half, particularly a 13-minute period from the hosts, flipped the script as the Gunners scored four goals—the opener notably from a set piece. The Gunners’ not-so-secret weapon yielded results once again as Declan Rice found Gabriel with a dangerous in-swinger to break the deadlock.
From there, Gabriel Martinelli and Viktor Gyökeres put the game to bed with three goals between them. Another statement defencive performance from a side that remains hard to break down at the back. Through 12 games in all competitions, Arsenal have conceded just three goals. They limited their opponent on the night to just one shot on target.
In the attacking department, getting their big money striker firing again will come as a boost as well. The expectations for this team will continue to build as long as they continue securing results like this.
