Arsenal yesterday secured top spot in Group B with a stunning performance against Lens in the Champions League that saw them score six goals without reply at the Emirates Stadium.
After just 13 minutes, Kai Havertz opened the flood gates of goal when he drove home the opener from close range to cap off an aggressive and dominant start.
Afterwards, the Mikel Arteter team gave their home fans a pulsating and consistent run of goal scoring as Gabriel Jesus turned in the second.
Shortly afterwards, Bukayo Saka chested one over the line.

Gabriel Martinelli’s curling effort made it four goals before the half hour mark but Arsenal kept their pressures up.
Martin Odegaard added a fifth goal with a fabulous volley in stoppage time during the first half.
The tempo understandably reduced in the second half but when the hosts were awarded a penalty late in the match, Jorginho coolly slotted it home to become the sixth goalscorer of the evening.
