The hosts initially struggled in the first half but came roaring back with complete dominance after the break. Gabriel Magalhães opened the scoring in the 57th minute, followed by Gabriel Martinelli doubling the lead just seven minutes later.
Viktor Gyökeres then sealed the victory with two quick goals in the 67th and 70th minutes. The emphatic win underlined Arsenal status as one of Europe’s most dangerous sides right now.
Beating a powerhouse like Atletico has boosted Arsenal confidence even further. They’ve now recorded three straight wins without conceding a single goal in Europe’s top competition.
