Arsenal Crush PSV 7-1 in Champions League, Young Stars Shine

Arsenal’s teenage duo Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri played pivotal roles in a stunning 7-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League last-16 first leg on Tuesday. The Dutch champions were outclassed, suffering their worst-ever defeat in European football.

Arsenal dominated from the start, with Declan Rice’s disallowed goal giving a glimpse of what was to come. PSV had a brief chance but squandered it, allowing Arsenal to open the scoring through Jurrien Timber. The Gunners then made it 2-0 thanks to Nwaneri’s brilliant strike, followed by Mikel Merino’s calm finish to further pile on the misery.
