Arsenal hammered PSV 7-1 away from home in the first stage of their round-of-16 knockout match in the Champions League.
The side of Mikel Arteta scored three goals in a 13 -minute spell in the first half, before adding four in the second half to blow away their opposition and book their place in the quarterfinals of the competition.
Jurrien Timber got things going by scoring the opener in the 18th minute, which was only his second goal for Arsenal, while teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri shot one for the Gunners before Mikel Merino got the third after 31 minutes.
The Dutch side received one back in the first half of a NOA long -penalty, which was given away by Thomas Partey.
But two goals in the first three minutes of the second half of Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard, respectively, ended the match effectively as a match. But PSV's damage limitation could not have gotten much worse after that.
Odegaard then took his second of the game and Arsenal's sixth in the 73rd minute before Riccardo Calafiori got the seventh on his side with five minutes to go, which was his first Champions League goal of the season.
