Match report
Time to sign off with David Hytner’s verdict from Eindhoven. Thanks for joining me. Bye!
And now Mikel Arteta: “So happy for the boys, after not scoring and all the noise around them. I sent them out [in the second half] to score a fourth goal, then the game will be over. Momentum can shift, and you don’t want to put yourself in that position.”
On Lewis-Skelly, he said he “didn’t see the second [foul], but I couldn’t take a risk away from home. He’s very young, and we need to protect him.” Did he see tonight’s result coming? “No, but this is the beauty of football. This is a competition we love … it’s a special night for us.”
He also points out that two full-backs – Timber and Calafiori – scored from open play. “This is the kind of team I want to manage!”
