"Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka ensured Arsenal made it two wins from two in the Champions League with a 2-0 defeat of Olympiacos, though the victory may have come at a cost. Arsenal began the league phase with victory at Athletic Bilbao and, after they needed a 96th-minute goal to complete a comeback and beat Newcastle United 2-1 in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta shuffled his pack for the visit of the Greek champions."
"Martinelli netted the opener point-blank range, following up after Viktor Gyokeres had hit the post. The floodgates did not open thereafter, however, with Olympiacos producing a spirited effort, and there was concern late on when defender Gabriel was forced off through injury. Saka finally put the game to bed in the second minute of added time when he squirmed a finish under Konstantinos Tzolakis."
