Arsenal’s 1-0 win over PSV was hardly a performance that will live long in the memory, but frankly, it does not need to. A match which had promised a new challenge saw the Gunners have arguably their most dominant display of the competition so far this year.
Not needing to get out of second gear for most of the game, Arsenal managed to secure a single-goal win thanks to yet another strike from Granit Xhaka; his sixth goal contribution of the season so far. Now all that is needed is a point in Eindhoven, and top spot is secured.
In a match which lacked inspiration, there was varying performances in the side but relief at the end. football.london takes a look at the winners and losers from the Europa League battle.
