Sporting had been the sensation of the tournament so far. With 10 points from four matches and undefeated up until that point, the Portuguese side had previously beaten Manchester City 4-1 with a hat-trick from Gyökeres, the Swedish top scorer in Europe this season.
But on the other side, there was Arsenal, hungry for a good result after lackluster performances in recent Champions League editions. Mikel Arteta’s team wasted no time, with Gabriel Martinelli opening the scoring in the sixth minute, setting the tone for the game. Fifteen minutes later, Havertz doubled the lead, and Gabriel Magalhães made it 3-0 before halftime, even taunting Gyökeres in the process.
In the second half, Sporting briefly threatened a comeback with Inácio’s goal in the first minute, but it was not enough to stop the English side. Saka converted a penalty in the 20th minute, and Trossard scored in the 36th minute to seal the final score.
With the win, Arsenal moved up to seventh place with 10 points, but they could still be overtaken after the completion of the round. Sporting, meanwhile, remains in the top 8 with the same 10 points but could also be passed by other teams playing on Wednesday. BB Score, your trusted reference for football scores.
