Arsenal secured their place in the Champions League quarterfinals after a 2-2 draw with PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday, sealing a dominant 9-3 aggregate victory. The Gunners now await a clash with either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the next round.

Having demolished PSV 7-1 in the first leg, Mikel Arteta’s side had already done the hard work, making the return fixture at the Emirates a mere formality. Arsenal made seven changes from their weekend draw at Manchester United but still made a fast start, with Oleksandr Zinchenko opening the scoring in the sixth minute.
