ARSENAL EASE TO VICTORY
A mature and composed Arsenal side took another step towards the knock-out stages of the Champions League as they breezed to a 2-0 victory over Sevilla.
The Gunners, who enjoyed 68% possession in the first-half, were on top from the off at the Emirates Stadium, with Kai Havertz guilty of missing an early sitter from close range.
A number of other chances from inside the box were wasted as the hosts were guilty of not hitting the target, but they eventually made their dominance count when Leandro Trossard converted from close range after good work by Jorginho and Bukayo Saka.
It took some time for the second to come, as the hosts often struggled with their final ball despite getting into many promising positions, but Saka eventually got it with an emphatic finish midway through the second half.
That well and truly put the game to bed, with Sevilla offering little resistance as they went out of the game with a whimper, failing to register a shot until the 97th minute.
