"Bayern Munich's unbeaten run and claim to be the best team in European football were both punctured at the Emirates. Arsenal ran rampant against an opponent who have handed them so much pain in the past. The Gunners opened the scoring through their habitual set-piece goal, Jurrien Timber fulfilling the role of the absent Gabriel. Lennart Karl, the 17-year-old, showed off his chops with a fine goal; from within Bayern have found the player they desired when they were thwarted in moving for Florian Wirtz. After that, Declan Rice and Eberechi Eze took control in midfield, Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli scoring the goals, the latter a humiliation of Manuel Neuer's sweeper-keeper stylings. Amid the fug of the extended Champions League group-stage format, where matches between elite clubs are routine rather than novelty, this was still a statement victory."
"I think they had an incredible match against, in my opinion, the best team in Europe, Mikel Arteta said of his players."
"We're going to have a little drink together and then say something. Possibly something strong, hey?

Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli added goals, with Martinelli exposing Manuel Neuer's sweeper-keeper attempt. Arsenal now sit top of their Champions League group with a perfect record. PSV Eindhoven executed a progressive, quick-passing counterattacking plan against Liverpool, with Ivan Perisic converting a penalty, Guus Til adding a goal, and substitute Couhaib Driouech contributing two goals to secure the victory.
