Arsenal made light work of Sevilla in their Champions League group stage clash thanks to a stellar Bukayo Saka display.
Arsenal eased to a comfortable 2-0 win at home to Sevilla to edge even closer to qualifying for UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
Goals in either half from Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka were all Arsenal needed to take full control of Group B, opening a four-point gap.
The win helped Arsenal maintain their unbeaten record in all eight competitive home games this season while also serving as a response to the controversial events of last weekend.
Bukayo Saka the star of the show
Arsenal started the game on the front foot but could not find the back of the net early on with Kai Havertz spurning the best chance they created.
Mikel Arteta's men would have to wait until the 29th minute to break the deadlock with a beautifully coordinated team move.
Jorginho’s inch-perfect pass between found the run of Bukayo Saka, who slid the ball across for Leandro Trossard to guide home his second goal of the UCL campaign.
The Gunners took the lead into half-time and made a sharp start to the second period, as they looked to put the game beyond doubt but Havertz's long-range strike was inches away.
Arsenal grabbed a second goal through Saka who was sent into the box by a Gabriel Martinelli through ball, after which he chopped the ball onto his favoured left boot before firing into the bottom corner.
That turned out to be all she wrote for the game as Arsenal were content with their 2-0 victory against a Sevilla team that did not put up a fight.
The Gunners top Group B with nine points from 12 possible, knowing that a draw in the next game sends them to the round of 16.
