Arsenal secured their second Champions League win of the season against Sevilla on Tuesday night but a moment between Mikel Arteta and Sergio Ramos caught the eye
A piece of magic from Gabriel Jesus set up compatriot Gabriel Martinelli to open the scoring on the stroke of half-time at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium. Jesus doubled Arsenal’s lead in the second half with a fine, curling finish of his own – although he later limped off having moments earlier held his hamstring.
A thunderous Nemanja Gudelj header reduced the arrears on the hour but Arteta’s side saw out the closing stages to secure victory. The result leaves Arsenal top of the group on six points, with second placed Lens on five points.
Asked how big a win it is, Arteta said: “Yes but that’s the difficulty of winning in the Champions League and it shows how much we have to value that. That result against Lens put us in a difficult position and the team had to react.
