With Arsenal struggling to break down a stubborn Lille defence, the Dutchman produced a moment of genuine quality to open the scoring in the 64th minute. Collecting Noni Madueke's pass, Timber showed incredible composure to lift the ball over the goalkeeper and send the Emirates into celebration.And then the floodgates opened!EBERECHI EZE ANSWERS HIS CRITICS! The England international doubled Arsenal's advantage just three minutes later, finishing from Bukayo Saka's delivery to score his first goal of the season.BUKAYO SAKA RESPONDS IN STYLE! Introduced from the bench, Arsenal's number seven made an immediate impact with an assist before adding a superb goal of his own in the 71st minute after wonderful combination play involving Martin Ødegaard and Kai Havertz.And what about BRUNO GUIMARÃES?! The Brazilian delivered another commanding midfield display, driving Arsenal forward, creating opportunities and showing exactly why he has become such an important part of Mikel Arteta's squad.But it wasn't all perfect.

Can they go one step further this season?🔴 Topics covered:Arsenal 3-0 Lille Champions League reactionJurrien Timber's incredible opening goalEberechi Eze scores and answers his criticsBukayo Saka's sensational substitute appearanceBruno Guimarães bosses the midfieldNoni Madueke's assist for TimberMartin Ødegaard and Kai Havertz change the gameMikel Arteta's substitutions and tactical decisionsArsenal's slow start and attacking concernsViktor Gyökeres' performanceArsenal's strength in depthAnother Champions League clean sheetCan Arsenal win the Champions League?📢 LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS!Who was your Arsenal Man of the Match?
