Arsenal recorded a massive 4-0 victory over Atlético Madrid at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night, maintaining a 100% start to their Champions League campaign.
Following an impressive but goalless first half, the Gunners delivered a devastating second-half performance, with four goals in 13 minutes. Defender Gabriel broke the deadlock on 56 minutes with a powerful header from a Declan Rice delivery. The floodgates then opened, with Gabriel Martinelli doubling the advantage seven minutes later.
The victory was sealed by a quick-fire brace from Viktor Gyökeres, who struck in the 66th and 69th minutes. The Swedish striker’s goals helped Arsenal register their 100th Champions League win and put the side firmly in the driving seat for a spot in the last-16.
The result continues Arsenal’s superb defensive record, stretching their run of never conceding a home goal in the competition’s group or league phase to nine matches under Mikel Arteta.
