Arsenal faced a challenging forward selection issue due to injuries but excelled against PSV, leading 3-1 by halftime in their Champions League encounter. Goals from Jurrien Timber, Ethan Nwaneri, and Mikel Merino contrasted with PSV's penalty. While the goalscorers received praise, Declan Rice significantly contributed with his lofted assist. His high performance rating reflected his impactful presence, highlighted by pundit Alan Shearer, who commended Rice's skillful passing that set up the opening goal. Arsenal aims to progress in a competition they last reached the final of in 2006.
Declan Rice dinks a beautiful little ball to the far post and he has to hope someone is going to get on the end of it and that someone was Jurrien Timber.
One man arguably had the North London-based outfit purring in the Netherlands. Declan Rice got the Gunners firing initially with his sensational lofted ball inside PSV's 18-yard box.
Mikel Arteta's visiting outfit racked up three goals to the hosts' sole effort from the penalty spot, showcasing their prowess in the Champions League.
Sofascore have the England international on a 7.7/10 rating... having picked up stats: 39 touches, 1 assist, and 24/27 passes completed (89%).
