Mikel Arteta hailed a 'special night' for Arsenal as they obliterated PSV Eindhoven 7-1 on Tuesday night to secure their biggest Champions League away win in history.
The Gunners put their striker woes behind them to go 3-0 up after just 31 minutes thanks to goals from Jurrien Timber, Ethan Nwaneri and makeshift forward Mikel Merino.
Noa Lang struck for PSV from the penalty spot just before the break, but it was one-way traffic in the second half as the visitors scored a further four goals to seal a statement victory away from home in the last-16 first leg.
