Introducing our starting XI…?????? @KieranTierney1 returns Fabio Vieira starts @GabrielJesus9 in attack Arsenal made a strong start to the game as they controlled the tempo by keeping possession of the ball for extended spells. They moved the ball forward and players made smart runs to aid the attack. Due to this, the Gunners created the majority of the chances in the early stages of the contest. PSV Eindhoven were unable to keep the ball and struggled to move out of their own half. PSV were unable to bring star-man Cody Gakpo into the game as they would've liked as they kept just 33% possession in the first period. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Fabio Vieira made strong starts for Arsenal but failed to hit the target despite nine attempts. With neither side creating opportunities to score from, Arsenal and PSV went into a halt-time deadlocked at 0-0. Some positive attacking moves...
But we're still searching for a clear-cut chance
0-0 (42) Some positive attacking moves... But we're still searching for a clear-cut chance 0-0 (42) Arsenal looked determined to alter the course of the game as the came out for the second half. Their midfielders moved the ball around well and a greater number of players made forward runs to overload key areas while attacking. This helped the Gunners gain quick control of proceedings in the second period. It also resulted in some frustrating challenges by the visitors as Erick Gutierrez was cautioned. Despite the pressure, Arsenal looked composed and likelier of the two teams to score. Arteta used all five of his substitutions in a bid to freshen things up. It paid off as the hosts broke the deadlock after 70 minutes. Takehiro Tomiyasu did well to square the ball to Granit Xhaka, who lashed it into the net from about 15 yards out with his right foot. PSV were unable to put-together effective moves to reply to Arsenal's goal as they fell to their first defeat in this year's UEL. That said, let's take a look at the five hits and flops from the game.

Arsenal FC v PSV Eindhoven: Group A - UEFA Europa League Arsenal defeated PSV Eindhoven 1-0 in the Europa League on Thursday, October 20. The result sees them remain in the top spot with a maximum of 12 points from their four games, five ahead of their visitors. Arsenal entered this clash on the back of a hard-fought and tense 1-0 win over Leeds United in the Premier League. They made the tough trip to the Arctic Circle and defeated Bodo/Glimt 1-0 just a few days prior to that. Despite back-to-back wins, his players suffered physically to earn the results. Gabriel Martinelli was the only one to miss out, though, as he was only fit enough to start from the bench. Both Edward Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus were handed starts as the Gunners looked to continue their perfect start in Europe. Introducing our starting XI…?????? @KieranTierney1 returns
