This Premier League side was on a different position to the floundering Dutch Champions, who suffered their worst defeat in European football.
Arsenal‘s talented teenage brace Miles Lewis Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri combined on Tuesday to help the Gunners race to a fostering 7–1 lead over PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League last- 16.
This Premier League side were on a different position to the floundering Dutch titleholders, who suffered their worst defeat in European football.
Arsenal dominated from the launch. Declan Rice’s important shot into the PSV net in the 11th nanosecond was ruled hardly offside, but it was a sign of what was to come.
During the game, PSV should have taken the lead after a quarter of an hour but Ismael Sabari managed to hit the ball over the bar from close range, with the goalkeeper formerly out of the way.
Arsenal made the hosts pay the price for their immorality two twinkles latterly. Rice was given too important space in the PSV box, allowing him to deliver a cross to the far post, which was headed home by Arsenal’s own flying Dutchman, Murrain Timber.
Soon later, the Gunners doubled their lead thanks to generous defending from the Dutch side.
18- time-old English protector Lewis Scally set up himself in plenitude of space in a dangerous area, and set up fellow teenager Nwaneri, who whipped the cross into the top corner.
PSV’s poor defense turned into a disturbing bone as Arsenal made it three within just half an hour of play.
The defense missed four chances for easy concurrences, ultimately chancing the ball for new striker Mikel Merino, who headed it once Walter Benitez.
The stupefied suckers at the Philips Stadium were given a hint of stopgap just before halftime when PSV were awarded a penalty after Thomas Partey needlessly wrapped his arms around the head of striker Luck de Jong.
Netherlands transnational winger Noah Lang made no mistake and placed the ball into the top corner, leaving David Raya with no chance.

It was a lifeline for the Dutch titleholders, who traced 3–1 at half-time after stifling the first 45 twinkles.
Meanwhile, Lewis Scally was introduced as a cover, maybe lucky not to admit an alternate unheroic card after a awkward challenge on Richard Ledezma.
Record defeat
But all expedients for the home suckers were soon dashed as Arsenal scored two pretensions in the first three twinkles of the alternate half.
