The Gunners seized control early, netting three goals within a 13-minute span in the first half. Jurrien Timber opened the scoring in the 17th minute, followed by Ethan Nwaneri and Mikel Merino, extending the lead to 3-0 by the 30th minute. PSV's Noa Lang converted a penalty just before halftime, but Arsenal responded emphatically after the break. Captain Martin Ødegaard scored twice, with Leandro Trossard and substitute Riccardo Calafiori also contributing to the tally, culminating in a commanding 7-1 triumph.
This result not only marked Arsenal's largest away win in Champions League history but also positioned them favorably for advancement to the quarter-finals. The return leg is scheduled for March 12 at Emirates Stadium.
