We qualified for the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League with a convincing, confident, classy 6-0 win at home to RC Lens on Wednesday night.
Kai Havertz got his second goal in as many games to give us an early lead, before Gabriel Jesus made it two, Bukayo Saka got a third, and Gabriel Martinelli then got his name on the scoresheet with 28 minutes played in a dominant first-half display.
Martin Odegaard scored for 5-0 on the brink of half-time, and Jorginho became our sixth different goalscorer of the night from the penalty spot late on.
It took just seven minutes for us to have our first sight of goal as Oleksandr Zinchenko crossed for Jesus, who could only cushion the ball into the side netting past the near post.
Five minutes later, Saka found Takehiro Tomiyasu overlapping on the right wing. He delivered a cross for Havertz who headed the ball back across goal and just wide of the post.
Then we took the lead, Tomiyasu’s cross not cleared and Jesus heading the ball into the path of Havertz, who simply tucked it past the onrushing Brice Samba for 1-0.
Jesus was the man who slotted home into the bottom left corner for our second goal of the night, but it wouldn’t have happened without the lung-busting run of Saka, wriggling his way through the middle of the pitch exactly five years on from his senior debut before laying it off for our Brazilian forward.
“We’ve got super Mik Arteta” rung around Emirates Stadium, inviting a third from our glorious Gunners, and Saka duly obliged. Martinelli cut in from the left and his shot was pushed kindly into Saka’s path, and he simply couldn’t miss.
In the 27th minute, Martinelli drifted in from the left wing again and curled the ball into the far corner on his right foot as we went 4-0 up inside the first half-hour – a ruthless performance.
Elye Wahi forced a save from David Raya from a narrow angle at the other end for Lens’ first real chance of the game in the 37th minute, before Facundo Madina smashed the post from distance. Angelo Fulgini then struck straight into Raya’s gloves.
Martinelli hit the side netting with half-time approaching before Odegaard got in on the act, volleying into the bottom right corner from Tomiyasu’s cross after our full-back had flown past Saka again on the overlap.
Tomiyasu was replaced by Ben White at half-time while Zinchenko made way for Jakub Kiwior.
We made another change with 25 minutes to go as Reiss Nelson came on for Saka.
Unsurprisingly, the second half was nowhere near as eventful and it took until the 67th minute for the first notable chance, Havertz performing some excellent trickery by the corner flag and pulling it back for Odegaard, whose deflected shot was spilled before Lens cleared the danger.
Jorginho came on for Declan Rice, who had looked typically comfortable on the ball throughout, with 15 minutes remaining.
White headed over from an Odegaard corner before Eddie Nketiah became our final substitution of then game when he came on for Jesus with eight minutes to go.
With five minutes remaining, we were awarded a penalty, courtesy of a VAR check, due to a handball from Abdukodir Lhusanov. Odegaard gave it to Jorginho, who calmly slotted into the bottom right for 6-0.

Great to see havertz scoring but trossard must be in the starting 11

The second Wenger Era has began
Tomiyasu was 🔥🔥💯he was just in his prime ❤
Scored any more and they’d have to break the 2 min limit
I'm viewer 1,000,000……not trying to flex 🤭
Arsenal my win the Champions league 🏆
Saka and Jesus with the fancy feet. ..
Tinggal tunggu waktu arsenal juara EPL,, dan saat itu lah pep hengkang..
Extended highlights at least when there's more goals than 3
Wow
Tomiyasu is just too good.he has the ability to be a good striker😊
The super versatility of Tomi is a big deal!
He can readily fit into different positions and different game plans.
Jorghino will play a key part in our champions league knock out round
Woww
TAKEHIRO TOMIYASU I THANK GOD EVERYDAY THAT YOU PLAY FOR MY CLUB
Love the footwork and the team work
Tomiyasu 🙌🏾
I support Tomiyasu because I'm Japanese, but I think it is time to give Gabriel the MVP of the month🏆
His consistency is hidden by Saliba, but he always manages to shut out the opposition.
Здесь Арсенал играл против Ланса как будто на тренировке не замечая противника , было видно что канониры играют даже не в пол силы , все очевидно , молодцы Арсенал , французам можно только посочувствовать
Khusanov well attended
Keep going with patient maybe Kiwior Nelson be substitute
冨安についてのコメ多すぎてすご
Jesus' goal is the exact scored against united. he just loves doing it that way.
🥰
Fan fact ;
why does odegaard always score goals at the same spot?
Sono svegli quelli del Lens..
King Kai HITS AGAIN 👑
We are a better team than we were last year!! Arteta made us a serious club again after 20 years!! May God bless us with trophies, Amen!!
Tomi❤
That pen was a joke
Husanov the best🫡
That's my team 🤍❤
Lee Gunner must have been very pissed at the score line, esp given the fact that Havertz scored
Arsenal is not one player team. Everybody can score a goal, maybe except the goalie.
I really don't know why people debate whether Tomiyasu intended that pass to Martinelli. He does these passes while playing in CB for Japan like it's nothing. Great talent.
Arsenal saved psv, thanks
Tomi and Kai are coming thru. Nice to have some size and physicality again like the invincibles era.
divivng like that while winning 5-0 is embarrassing
Это чтобы Ланс в себя не поверил
