Arsenal have more than one foot in the Champions League quarter-finals after scoring seven goals in an extraordinary away win at hapless PSV Eindhoven.

 

The Gunners have struggled for goals in recent weeks – failing to score in three of their last four games – but Mikel Arteta’s side sparked into life in a devastating 7-1 win.

Leandro Trossard added another two minutes later, with Odegaard notching his second and Riccardo Calafiori rounding off a superb evening for the north Londoners with a seventh.

“I couldn’t imagine I could ever lose this big [a margin]. We have to accept it, but it’s hard,” he adds
