Arsenal defeated Lille 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium to maintain their perfect start to the Champions League campaign. Three goals within eight second-half minutes transformed a goalless contest into a convincing victory for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Jurrien Timber broke the deadlock in the 64th minute following work from Noni Madueke. Eberechi Eze doubled the lead three minutes later with Bukayo Saka assisting, before Saka scored himself in the 71st minute. Lille failed to register a shot on target.
