Arsenal handed huge boost ahead of PSV clash as Mikel Arteta eyes Europa League top spot

Arsenal doesn't have to wait long to put the weekend's disappointing draw to Southampton behind them, as they're back in action on Thursday night. The Gunners make the trip to the Netherlands to face off against PSV Eindhoven for the second time in the past week in the group stages.

The last clash ended in a 1-0 victory for Mikel Arteta's side, giving them the edge in qualifying from the group as well as going into the upcoming fixture. While they bossed the game, it took a second-half strike from Granit Xhaka to earn all three points in a match they could have been out of sight in.

"We are really pleased with the performance and with what the boys showed," The manager said in a review of the game at the Emirates Stadium. "We had some really dominant and good moments, but we lacked in the final third and the final action to put more shots on target and to score more goals, I think."
