Arsenal deliver a masterclass against Atlético Madrid

The Gunners hammered the Spanish visitors 4-0 on Tuesday at the Emirates in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Goals came from Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli, and a brace by Victor Giokeris in the 57th, 64th, 67th and 70th minutes.

With the result, Arsenal stay undefeated with 9 points in third place, while Atlético Madrid sit on 3 points in 18th.

Arteta set his side up with a familiar lineup as Simeone responded with his trusted XI.

Early in the second half, a wave of chances kept the visitors on their toes, but Arsenal were ruthless, extending the lead with a blitz: Martinelli struck in 64, and Giokeris added two more within three minutes to make it 4-0.

Arsenal's defense held firm, with Raya and the backline repelling the few Madrid breaks, while the hosts kept pressing to seal the win.

Statistics highlighted a historic note: Arsenal became the first team in Champions League history to win seven consecutive games against Spanish clubs, according to Opta data cited by the report.

Arsenal's win also underscored Atletico's struggles away to English sides in European group stages, with a pattern of losses and a couple of draws.

The night belonged to the Gunners, who strengthened their position in the group and left Madrid with questions to answer.

Punchline 1: If scoring were currency, Arsenal just minted a fortune faster than you can say Emirates.

Punchline 2: Atletico left the Emirates with a four-goal sandwich—extra disappointment on the side.
