PSV 1-7 Arsenal: Player Ratings as Gunners Dominate in Champions League Return

PSV vs Arsenal LIVE: Champions League match stream, latest score and goal updates tonight

Gunners are looking to secure a positive first leg result in Eindhoven

Arsenal are on top in their Champions League round of 16 first leg against PSV Eindhoven. Having raced into a three-goal lead just after the half hour mark, the Gunners need to guard against complacency in the second half to ensure they return to the Emirates Stadium next week with the advantage.

Mikel Arteta’s side are aiming to reach the Champions League quarter-final for the second year in a row, although recent trips to Eindhoven suggest a difficult night was in store for an Arsenal team that had failed to score in their previous two games.

PSV aren’t in great form themselves heading into the first-leg but they’ll be buoyed by their knockout round playoff win over Juventus as they seek to cause an upset and advance to the next stage to face either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid. Still, it’s all about tonight’s crucial first leg, so follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert analysis from Simon Collings at the Philips Stadion.
