Arsenal hadn’t scored an away goal in the Champions League this season before last night. The Gunners attack finally clicked in Portugal as they put five past a Sporting side who were unbeaten at home before they took on Mikel Arteta’s side.
Martin Odegaard returned to action during the international break so it’s no surprise the Arsenal attack is clicking again.
Their main creator is back with the Norwegian picking up two assists already since returning from injury.
Saka also spoke about the importance of Arsenal’s performance, noting, “This is our home. We know Sporting are a top team, but we’ve shown we can perform at the highest level. Today, everyone was exceptional.” His composed penalty at 4-1 secured the win and kept Sporting from mounting a late comeback.
