Arsenal claimed their third victory in the Champions League, defeating Sporting Clube de Portugal 5-1 in Lisbon on Tuesday night.
It was the perfect night for Mikel Arteta and Co., who only needed seven minutes to break the deadlock. Gabriel Martinelli’s opener was followed by Kai Havertz’s goal before Gabriel Magalhaes got on the scoresheet on the brink of half-time.
Bukayo Saka added to the scoreline from the penalty spot, and Leandro Trossard scored the Gunners’ fifth late on. Sporting’s Goncalo Inacio netted the consolation goal for the hosts as Viktor Gyokeres had an unusually quiet night.
