Arsenal’s Historic Champions League Triumph: A Night to Remember in Eindhoven:

Eindhoven has seen an influx of carnival tourists over the past few days, yet it was Arsenal’s turn to throw a party in the town on Tuesday as they kicked their scoring drought to the curb and simultaneously set a record in the Champions League.

Under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, the London club blasted PSV Eindhoven 7-1 and in the process, became the first team in the Champions League to score seven goals away from home in the knockout stages of the competition.

The seven goals are also the most the gunners have scored in a single match since January 2012 when they defeated Newcastle United 7-3 in the Premier League.

While the head coach expressed how this single match win has helped boost the players “joy and confidence and belief”, he was rather calm while answering questions concerning the records the team had achieved. “It’s for sure something that hasn’t been done, so it’s great to be a part of that,” Arteta remarked. “However, as a team, we want to achieve a lot of other things that are even more important than that.” He continued by saying, “The happiest thing is we’re in a very strong position to go to the next round which is what we want.”

"But there’s work to be carried out in London in a week’s time.”

An Arsenal fan, Arteta, did not expect to be rewarded for the two scoreless games that preceded this match – a 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest and a 1-0 loss to West Ham – but I suspect he is learning like the rest of employable managers, sometimes football rewards you when you least expect it.

He will take great comfort from the fact that Sutton covered the game for BBC Radio 5 live. In Sutton’s eyes, “This will give them great confidence for the rest of the season. Arsenal had control of the game from the start."

Yes, indeed, Arsenal left nothing to chance, they made sure Allardyce had a lesson during that game, Sutton was correct in analyzing, “Arsenal were ruthless with their finishing.” He was not wrong saying that some of the combination play in the final third was sensational.

“Everyone in that team contributed greatly, including Martin Odegard who A total of five different players contributed to the dissection of Fulham, he and his partner in the heart of defense, Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba, is something else.”

“Arsenal will take some stopping in this competition,” replied the commentator. How else can we complete these words but very differently?

Declan Rice, the victim of an offside goal, along with the other two midfielders who had the most central positions, were clearly united. It’s about time laid explicit barricades in the centre of the pitch because the Arsenal have earned it. They have got what they have worked for over the past few weeks. The Gunners were “fluid” and with “enthusiasm, drive and hunger” that arteries which supply blood to other body parts in the multiply of the bone and muscle of its hankers.

“But we’ve been doing that all season,” he said. “And in our opinion, everything has been flowing well. Sometimes we score five goals, sometime two, other games we don’t score at all, but we did score on Tuesday and we played well. It all came together.”

It has already been noted how Arsenal do not have a recognized striker with both Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz being out injured. But on Tuesday evening, six players scored and one of them, Odegaard, scored two of the goals. Jurrien Timber, Mikel Merino, Ethan Nwaneri, Leandro Trossard, and Riccardo Calafiori rounded out the others.

Given that Arsenal can begin to organize a visit to Madrid, the staggering victory implies that they will face the victor of the contest between Real and Atletico which was won by Ancelotti's group 2-1. The Atletico fixture next week is the return leg and will complete the tie.

Nwaneri demonstrates why Arteta trusts him.

Ethan Nwaneri, with eight goals to his name this season. Arsenal’s brilliant, all round year 17 old. And Nwaneri is on full display again.

The academy graduate has been tasked with replacing Bukayo Saka on the right flank of the Arsenal attack during his absence due to injury. In return, the 16-year-old has scored eight goals in 28 appearances across all competitions.

That return is enough to put him in the bracket of some of the most brilliant youngsters in England.

When Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney were 17 or under, they scored nine goals apiece in all competitions. Nwaneri has 16 days to accomplish that aim before he turns 18 years old.

“I don't think that he needs any pushing. You see every time what the intention is,” Arteta claimed. “If it comes, it comes and it’s great.”

“I’m really impressed with the way he behaved and the way he played. It's about consistency and now doing it again three days later in another big stadium.”

Since Eden Hazard set a record at 17 years and 217 days old, only Joao Felix (19) has scored in the round of 16 of the Champions League. Nwaneri has now joined Bojan and Jude Bellingham as the third youngest player to score in a knockout stage of the Champions League.

“A 17-year-old steps on the field, and that’s what, Rice stated. “ We have adopted this new group. They are good enough to perform on the big stage. Watching them train is amazing; they are so fearless, and willing to perform.” “Ethan has put in the work in training, so even in the presence of Saka, he is going to be getting minutes. The mark of a great player is working hard, and Ethan is a great player.” “Ethan was not the only one to impress in th the half, myles as well impressed before being subbed off to avoid a second yellow card.” Lewis-Skelly received a yellow card and subsequently fouled Richard Ledezma late in the match. While it seemed like he ought to have been booked for the foul, Arteta chose to take him off after this incident. "They play like they have been here for many years," captain Odegaard said. “They are so impressive at such a young age, I admire them for their skills and confidence.” With experience at 15, Steve McManaman was one of the youngest professional footballers. He’s convinced that causing you to stay near the pitch is good.

I think he handled that very well," he said this as if in support of some argument. “Everyone understood how difficult it was for him to be in that position. He was also on a yellow and had to make a hard challenge. At least he took it well and I'm certain he will learn from that too.”
