An excellent evening, a fantastic few days, Arsenal will now be targeting the most wonderful of weeks.
After a hard-fought 1-0 success at Everton on Sunday, the Gunners crushed PSV Eindhoven 4-0 tonight on their return to the Champions League after six seasons away.
It’s the perfect platform from which to leap into the weekend’s North London derby against rivals Tottenham, and we’ll be back here on Sunday lunchtime to bring you all the action from the Emirates.
Until then, thanks for joining us and goodnight.

Gunners performance ticks Arteta’s boxes
Arsenal’s attackers have received all the plaudits after a four-midable showing in the Champions League, but manager Mikel Arteta was quick to praise his defence too following tonight’s 4-0 win.
We enjoyed it. From the first minute, we went for it. Today we were really good in both boxes and, in the Champions League, when you are good in both boxes then you have a chance.Mikel ArtetaTNT Sports

Arsenal begin with a bang
It may have been Arsenal’s first appearance in the Champions League for six years, but it’s a whole decade since the Gunners began their group stage campaign with a victory.
Back in 2013-14, the Londoners saw off Marseille 2-1 at the Stade Velodrome on matchday one thanks to goals from Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey.
Meanwhile, tonight was Arsenal’s biggest opening match victory in the Champions League since 2010-11 when they walloped Braga 6-0.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard led by example with a man of the match display, scored an excellent goal, and then afterwards reiterated what Champions League football means to the North London club.
The Norwegian revealed that the players and fans had been desperately waiting for this match, and wanted to make the most of it from the off.
You saw the energy and motivation straight from the start. To be back in this competition is huge for us as a club. Before the game you could feel that this was special for everyone. Martin OdegaardTNT Sports

Gunners fire to the top
A perfect evening for Arsenal has ended with them clear at the top of group after just one game.
In the night’s other Group B fixture, Sevilla were held to a 1-1 draw by Lens at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.

Match stats from the Emirates
Arsenal scored half of their eight attempts on target in a comprehensive performance on matchday one of the Champions League group stage.

Full time – Arsenal 4-0 PSV
It’s all over at the Emirates where Arsenal have cruised to victory on their Champions League return.
Goals from Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard saw Mikel Arteta’s men swat aside PSV Eindhoven in the pouring rain.
What better way to warm up for Sunday’s North London derby.

Arsenal 4-0 PSV
90+1. It comes to nothing despite Dest’s eagerness to recycle the ball with a hopelessly overhit pass.
On the bench, Peter Bosz looks thoroughly fed up. He’ll be put out of his misery any second soon.
Arsenal 4-0 PSV
90. The fourth official’s electronic board signals three minutes of stoppage time will be played.
And with that, PSV win a corner.
Arsenal 4-0 PSV – PSV substitution
89. With seconds remaining, the PSV captain Luuk de Jong makes way.
Taking over for the final moments is 20-year-old American striker Ricardo Pepi.
Arsenal 4-0 PSV – Schouten yellow card
87. Another booking for PSV with Jerdy Schouten now carded.
The midfielder is made to look silly by a sublime first touch from Kai Havertz, and his only response is to cynically pull the shirt of the German.
Arsenal 4-0 PSV
85. Five minutes remain, and the Emirates is beginning to empty out.
As commentator Paul Dempsey points out: “It’s not because of the quality of the football, it’s because nobody will want to queue for the tube in this rain.”
Arsenal 4-0 PSV
83. Miscontrol from Nelson in midfield presents De Jong with a chance to run at the Arsenal defence.
That is until Jorginho arrives to mop up with a calming authority.
Arsenal 4-0 PSV
81. A great break from Arsenal, one of the best of the night, ends with Boscagli making an excellent block to deny Smith Rowe a strike at goal.
Odegaard, Havertz and Nelson are all involved in smart one-touch passing as the hosts move from right to left and back again.
Arsenal 4-0 PSV
79. Sub on sub.
Makil Tillman barges into the back of Jorginho as the Italian plays a simple pass, and winds up with a yellow card from Felix Zwayer.
Arsenal 4-0 PSV – PSV double substitution
77. It’s the end of the evening for Southampton’s Armel Bella-Kotchap.
The defender departs to be replaced by Andre Remalho, while Yorbe Vertessen comes on for the ineffectual Noa Lang.
Arsenal 4-0 PSV – Arsenal substitution
76. A final change for the Gunners sees Jorginho on for Declan Rice.
It’s been the perfect Champions League debut for the England midfielder, who will be wondering if he can add to last season’s Europa Conference title with another winners’ medal come May.
Arsenal 4-0 PSV
74. Havertz almost gets his goal.
Twisting and turning inside the box, the German attempts to steer a left-footer in at the near post, only for Teze to get a foot in to block.
Arsenal 4-0 PSV
72. While Arsenal are running riot at the Emirates, it’s worth acknowledging that Sevilla and Lens are currently locked together at 1-1 in Group B’s other match.
Arsenal 4-0 PSV
70. The captain delivers!
Arsenal’s attacking force has been nothing like it was in the first half, but Martin Odegaard has just spurred them back into life with the goal of the night.
Kai Havertz started the break forward, and while Emile Smith Rowe was guilty of overplaying a pass, he recovered well to tee up Reiss Nelson.
The substitute played responsibility on to Odegaard, who dropped his shoulder to move beyond Joey Veerman before driving left-footed into the bottom corner of Walter Benitez’s net from 25 yards.
Brilliant!

What a strike!

Arsenal 3-0 PSV – Arsenal double substitution
68. It’s substitution season. Here are two more.
Gabriel Jesus’ ovation as he leaves the pitch is only bettered by the one that welcomes Emile Smith Rowe on as his replacement.
It’s also time for Bukayo Saka to make way, and it’s Fabio Vieira that comes on for the England star.
Arsenal 3-0 PSV – PSV double substitution
66. Now the Dutch side make a double change of their own, and it includes their returning hero Hirving Lozano.
Re-signed from Napoli, the Mexican attacker is on for Johan Bakayoko.
Also on is Malik Tillman, who replaces Ismael Saibari.
Arsenal 3-0 PSV
64. Saliba looks in real trouble facing his own goal with Lang bearing down on him, but a delightful spin on the ball takes him away from his opponent and into a position where he’s able to start Arsenal’s latest attack.
First class from the defender.

Arsenal 3-0 PSV
62. Arsenal’s best opportunity of the second period.
Nelson does very well to win the ball back high up the pitch, finds Havertz, who dinks a low cross to the near post.
Under pressure, Jesus gets hit right foot to the delivery, but is unable to find the angle to turn it past Benitez.

NEWCASTLE marked their return to the Champions League after a 20-year absence with a hard-fought 0-0 draw at AC Milan.It was a backs-to-the-wall performance at the San Siro as Nick Pope’s heroics and dogged defending late on earned a crucial point.
The Italian side were left ruing a host of missed chances with Rafael Leao tripping over himself as he attempted a backheel.
Eddie Howe’s side did not have a shot on target but a draw is a huge step in their bid to escape a difficult Group F.

That’s all from the San Siro
The Champions League is back, if not with a bang but with a showing of defensive determination.
Newcastle’s return has been a long-time coming, and this hard-earned goalless draw in Milan is the least that their travelling supporters deserved. They wouldn’t have it any other h’way.
Thanks for joining us, and goodnight.
Howe insists Newcastle can improve
Eddie Howe is adamant that his side can take the experience of being under the cosh at the San Siro for long periods into future Champions League games.
Speaking afterwards, the Newcastle head coach praised his players for their defensive capabilities when it mattered, and maintained there was plenty of encouragement to take into the rest of the competition.
We did not aim to defend so deep. Our defending was a bit loose, but around the game we defended the 18 yard box perfectly. We know we can grow and improve. We can be very positive about the next game.Eddie Howe

Grateful eight: Toon thankful to Pope
There’s no doubting who was Newcastle’s man of the match at the San Siro.

Despite their 25 attempts at goal, it’s been another frustrating evening for the AC Milan faithful.
Having seen their side hit for five by city rivals Inter at the weekend, they have now had to endure another goalless 90 minutes of Champions League football.
The Rossoneri have failed to score in their last three games in Europe’s stellar competition, a run of 352 minutes without a goal.
And it’s four Champions League fixtures without a victory too, their longest winless streak in the competition since seven games between December 2013 and November 2021.

Off the mark in Group F
Group F has been dubbed the group of death in this season’s Champions League, and so any away point must be seen as a positive.
Whether the Toon can remain in the top two ahead of matchday two depends on what happens in the French capital, where Paris Saint-Germain are about to take on Borussia Dortmund.

Match stats from the San Siro
AC Milan’s 25 shots in this game is their highest in a single Champions League match without scoring since 27 against PSV Eindhoven in October 2005.

Full time – AC Milan 0-0 Newcastle
Newcastle’s Champions League campaign begins with a hard-fought point away at AC Milan.
The Serie A giants were the better team throughout, but were unable to find either their composure in front of goal or a way past Nick Pope.

AC Milan 0-0 Newcastle
90+5. Newcastle win the ball back in the final seconds and burst forward!
Almiron feeds Barnes, who lays back to Anderson. The substitute bides his time and then plays in Guimaraes, who strikes goalwards…
…with a shot that touches the fingertips of Sportiello and flies over!
What a smash and grab that would have been!
AC Milan 0-0 Newcastle
90+3. An absolutely brilliant tackle from Trippier stops Musah in his tracks along the touchline.
Somehow the Newcastle captain not only wins the ball back but keeps it in play too. Bravo!

90+1. Eddie Howe makes his final change with Harvey Barnes on for Alexander Isak.
The Toon are on the verge of a well-earned draw.

Meanwhile, the fourth official signals that there will be five minutes of additional time to be played.

Leao fluffs his shot (not for the first time tonight), Pulisic has an attempt blocked, and then Giroud thunders an effort straight at Pope.

AC Milan continue to work the ball, eventually playing Florenzi in on the right, but his cross is confidently claimed by Pope.

83. Now Olivier Giroud talks his way into Jose Maria Sanchez’s book.
The striker is unhappy at being penalised for a challenge on Longstaff and says a little too much to the referee.
AC Milan 0-0 Newcastle – Musah yellow card
82. Bruno Guimaraes tempts Yunus Musah into a foul that not only earns the substitute a yellow card, but brings Newcastle a much-needed free-kick on halfway.
That was some good old English gamesmanship from the Brazilian playmaker.
AC Milan 0-0 Newcastle – AC Milan substitution
80. The Rossoneri goalkeeper is unable to carry on so he will be replaced by Marco Sportiello.
How much of a blow will that be to Stefano Pioli’s charges?

78. All the action is inside the Newcastle penalty area at the moment, but in the other box Mike Maignan has gone down and appears in some discomfort.

AC Milan 0-0 Newcastle
77. Florenzi has found some joy down the right since his introduction, and he floats in another dangerous cross towards the back post.
Between them, Botman and Trippier manage to snuff out Hernandez from adding the finishing touch.

75. Milan are bombarding the Newcastle goal once again.
A vital interception from Almiron is required to take the ball away from Hernandez inside the penalty, and then the resulting corner causes chaos.
Amid the mayhem, Pulisic and Hernandez both have fierce shots blocked by Trippier and Longstaff respectively.
AC Milan 0-0 Newcastle
74. Leao flashes a header over the crossbar!

AC Milan 0-0 Newcastle – Newcastle substitution
72. And here’s another youngster, Newcastle’s Elliot Anderson.
The midfielder is on for Sandro Tonali, who departs the pitch to a standing ovation from all inside the San Siro.
From the AC Milan fans, it’s a thank you for all he has done. From the Newcastle supporters, it will be as an appreciation for what’s still to come.

AC Milan 0-0 Newcastle – AC Milan substitution
71. Unsurprisingly, Ruben Loftus-Cheek is unable to continue.
On in his place is young Yunus Musah.
AC Milan 0-0 Newcastle
69. Loftus-Cheek has pulled up holding his hamstring, and it interrupts an AC Milan counter attack.
Hernandez spots the former Chelsea player unmarked as he burst through the middle and goes to play him the ball until noticing his injury.
In the confusion, the defender loses possession.
AC Milan 0-0 Newcastle
67. Reijnders has floated into good positions on two occasions since his arrival, but his performance on the ball both time has left plenty to be desired.
Having struck a weak shot at Pope moments ago, he now wastes a cross with options available.
