Gunners' Seven-Minute Barrage / Arsenal 3-0 Lille | Ancelotti's Son, Arteta's New Victim
Arsenal scored three goals in a stormy seven-minute spell against Lille to win 3-0.
According to "Varzeh Se", Arsenal finally broke Lille's resistance and continued their brilliant progress in the European Champions League with a comfortable 3-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium. This was the 14th consecutive victory of Mikel Arteta's students in the league stage of this competition.
Arteta's side were hoping to maintain their excellent league record by hosting Lille. The French team did not get very good results in its recent trips to England. Lille was lucky that its goal was not opened in the first 20 minutes; Bruno Guimarães was in close range after a back pass by Urine Timber, but his shot went wide.
Lille played with good defensive order and shocked the fans present at the Emirates Stadium for a few moments. Ayase Ueda managed to pass the ball past David Raya and open Arsenal's goal, but the Gunners were lucky to avoid conceding a goal; Because this goal was rejected due to Haraldsson's offside during the formation of the attack.
Arsenal were far from their best in the attacking phase and the team's problems in creating chances became apparent when Mikel Merino sent his shot wide of the goal. The first half was promising for Davide Ancelotti's students who had a positive performance as the visiting team; However, Lille could have gone to the locker room with a goal if Berk Ozer had not reacted well to Gimarch's shot in the extra time of the first half.
Arsenal put a lot of pressure on Lille's defense line and finally got their expected goal in the 64th minute. Urin Timber broke the lock of the opponent's goal with a spectacular shot. The Dutch defender easily controlled Noni Madueke's pass and headed the ball over Ozer's head with a beautiful shot to give Arsenal the lead.
Three minutes later, Abarchi Eze increased the difference to two goals. He opened Lille's goal with a precise and one-shot shot from Arsenal substitute Bokayo Saka. Saka recorded his assist just two minutes after entering the field.
In the 71st minute, Arsenal's two substitutes scored again to make it 3-0. This time, Saka coolly scored the Gunners' third goal off Kai Havertz's pass to effectively end Lille's slim hopes of getting back into the match.
Guimarães was still looking for a goal, but was once again thwarted by Ozer's reaction, and Arsenal finally settled for the same three goals. With this result, Arteta's students have lost only twice in their last 32 games in the group stage or the league stage of the European Champions League, and during this time they have won 26 and drawn four.
