Arsenal ripped Atlético Madrid apart after half-time, turning a tight first half into a one-sided rout. Gabriel opened the scoring with a powerful header, sparking a rapid sequence of goals that left the visitors reeling.

In a brutal six-minute spell, Myles Lewis-Skelly set up Gabriel Martinelli, Viktor Gyökeres bundled in a deflected volley, and then converted a Rice set-piece rebound to make it 4-0. The Emirates erupted as Arsenal ran riot and Jan Oblak was repeatedly tested.

The win kept Arsenal's perfect group record and extended their Champions League home clean-sheet run under Arteta. Next up: Crystal Palace at the Emirates.
