Arsenal took a significant step towards the Champions League knockout stages with a convincing win against Sevilla. Manager Mikel Arteta’s team needed a boost following a recent slump, and they found it through an impressive performance, which now puts them on the brink of progressing to the last 16 of the competition.

Bukayo Saka, a consistent standout for Arsenal, was once again in fine form. The English winger’s resilience in the face of frequent fouls has become a defining trait, and he shone in this match, leading his team to victory.

Despite an early missed opportunity by Kai Havertz, Arsenal controlled the game and secured a 29th-minute lead thanks to Leandro Trossard. Saka added a second goal in the 64th minute, solidifying the victory.

Saka’s exceptional display didn’t go unnoticed by England manager Gareth Southgate, who is set to announce his squad. For Arsenal, Saka is an invaluable asset, and his well-being remains a top priority. Only one point is needed from their remaining group games for Arsenal to advance to the knockout rounds.
