As Arsenal cruised to the first victory of their Champions League campaign, easing past Paris Saint-Germain 2-0, it was UFC star Conor McGregor who was grabbing the headlines at the Emirates, as the Notorious One stormed the pitch after the match, something he wasn’t actually allowed to do according to recent reports.
The Gunners welcomed Champions League football back to the Emirates for the first time this season, taking on PSG, one of their pot one draws. Having left Italy with one point, securing a hard-fought draw against Atalanta thanks to a jaw-dropping double save from David Raya, all eyes were on Arsenal to prove themselves against one of Europe’s elite sides.
A sublime first-half performance capped off by goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka saw the north London side lead 2-0 going into the break, a lead they would take to full-time as they managed to fend off limited offence from a timid PSG side. A substitute debut for Mikel Merino capped off a fantastic night of football, with Arsenal continuing their unbeaten start to the season.
