Arsenal dominate Atletico Madrid 4-0 in Champions League

Arsenal demolished Atlético Madrid 4-0 at the Emirates, producing a 13–14 minute second‑half salvo to record a third straight Champions League win while keeping their group-stage clean sheet streak intact. The goals came from Gabriel Magalhães (a Declan Rice free‑kick header), Gabriel Martinelli, and a quickfire brace by Viktor Gyökeres, who ended a lengthy scoring drought. Manager Mikel Arteta praised Gyökeres’s work rate and the team’s overall performance, which underlined Arsenal’s credentials as genuine contenders in Europe. The victory put Arsenal on nine points and one of the few sides yet to concede in the group phase, built on set‑piece efficiency and defensive solidity that left Diego Simeone’s Atlético shell‑shocked. The night also featured other routs across the competition, with Paris Saint‑Germain and Barcelona among the teams putting multiple goals past their opponents.
