Arsenal secured a comfortable 3-1 victory over Monaco in the Champions League, with Bukayo Saka leading the charge with a brace.
The Gunners dominated the first half, creating numerous chances but failing to capitalize on them. Saka finally broke the deadlock in the 34th minute, tapping in a cross from Gabriel Jesus.
Kai Havertz’s introduction in the second half proved to be a game-changer. He forced a mistake from the Monaco goalkeeper, allowing Saka to score his second goal. Havertz then added a third goal late in the game, securing a crucial victory for Arsenal.
Despite missing several key defenders, Arsenal’s defensive solidity was evident throughout the match. Youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly impressed on his debut, while Thomas Partey returned from injury to solidify the midfield.
Arsenal’s victory puts them in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League. With two games remaining, they are well-placed to secure a top-two finish in their group.
