Champions League clash: Arsenal defeats Sevilla claiming 3 points

Arsenal defeated Sevilla to return to winning ways in the Champions League clash. Gabriel Jesus not only scored but also provided an assist.

According to Jerrymusa.com the Gunners survived a tough test against the seven-time Europa League champions after losing 2-1 to Lens in their previous European game.

In first-half stoppage time, Gabriel Martinelli scored his first goal in the Champions League by racing onto Jesus’ beautiful pass and edging the custodian. This goal gave the visitors a boost.

Then, early in the second half, Jesus extended Arsenal’s lead with a beautiful strike into the top corner.

Nemanja Gudelj’s goal from a set piece gave Sevilla, who had the support of a raucous home crowd, a chance to retake the lead.

As the hosts continued to try to score an equaliser, Arsenal came under significant pressure. David Raya deflected Mariano’s attempt into the crossbar, though it may not have counted due to a probable handball.

Jesus’ injury came as a late blow to Mikel Arteta’s team, but they held on to win the match and climb to the top of Group B despite that setback.
