The last time Arsenal won a game by a noticeably big margin, hope was in the air and a season was alive with possibility. Ever since that 5-1 dismantling of Manchester City, however, Arsenal have been trending south. So this embarrassment of the Dutch champions was, at the very least, a large step back in the right direction.
Arsenal were lovely to watch here in Eindhoven against a team that played right in to their hands and finished up humiliated. Come at Arsenal on the front foot and this is what can happen to you.
