Greetings and welcome to our live coverage of the post-match Arsenal press conference following their 2-1 triumph against Sevilla in Spain.
The game commenced with minimal clear-cut opportunities, the most promising of which fell to Gabriel Martinelli, who had his one-on-one attempt thwarted by Orjan Nyland. However, redemption awaited him later in the match.
David Raya’s errant passes were nearly capitalized upon by Sevilla, with Youssef En-Nesyri coming closest in the first half as his shot curled just wide of the Spaniard’s left post.
Sevilla believed they could end the first half on a high note but were caught on the counter. Gabriel Jesus executed a splendid spin after controlling a high ball and threaded a pass to Martinelli, who rounded Nyland this time to find the back of the net.
In the second half, Jesus extended Arsenal’s lead with a powerful shot, darting brilliantly inside to give the visitors a commanding advantage.
However, Sevilla managed to reduce the deficit shortly after. A Sevilla corner was inadequately defended, allowing Nemanja Gudelj to rise and head in a free header.
Nevertheless, the Gunners displayed resolute defense, a valuable asset in the challenging environment of the Champions League group stage, securing a crucial three points.
