Uefa described their punishment as being for “throwing of objects, crowd disturbances and acts of damages”.

PSV will have 30 days to reach out to Arsenal in order to pay for damages caused by their fans.

The Gunners won the match 1-0, via Granit Xhaka’s 70th minute strike.

Their victory put them in a commanding position in the group, with a win tonight enough to see them win it with a game to spare.
