PSV 1-7 Arsenal - PLAYER RATINGS: Who was the Gunners' star player? And who should have been sent off for Mikel Arteta's side?

Arsenal earned a dominant 7-1 victory away against PSV Eindhoven to effectively seal their place in the Champions League quarter-finals after the first leg of their last-16 tie.

Mikel Arteta's side seized control of the tie with Jurrien Timber and Ethan Nwaneri scoring three minutes apart in the first half against the Dutch side.

The Gunners had a major scare when Myles Lewis-Skelly avoided being sent off for a second bookable offence after a clumsy tackle, leading to him being substituted.

Mikel Merino added to Arsenal's lead on the half hour mark, before Noa Lang pulled one back for the hosts from the penalty spot in first-half stoppage time.
