The outcome means the English side have one foot in the quarter finals of the tournament.
The visitors did not always make life easy for themselves, throwing away a first-half lead that had been earned through Martin Odegaard’s long-range screamer when a defensive mix-up allowed Youssef El-Arabi to equalise.

However, Gabriel's beautiful header eleven minutes from full-time placed Arsenal back in front and Mohamed Elneny sealed the victory for Mikel Arteta's side with the third in the 85th minute.
Congratulations, @biel_m04! 👏
