Six records Arsenal shattered in Champions League rout of PSV
Arsenal shatter six new records after 7-1 demolition of PSV Eindhoven in their Champions League last-16 clash.
The Gunners became the first team to score seven goals away in a Champions League knockout match.
Martin Ødegaard netted twice alongside goals from Jurrien Timber, Ethan Nwaneri, Mikel Merino, Leandro Trossard, and Riccardo Calafiori.
They also became the first team to have six different goal scorers in a Champions League knockout game away from home.
Arsenal set another milestone by becoming the fastest team to score five away goals in the competition, with Trossard’s strike for 5-1 arriving by the 48th minute.
The victory extended their winning run in the Champions League to five consecutive games in a single campaign—their best streak since the 2005/06 season.
Nwaneri’s goal further etched Arsenal into the record books, making him the third-youngest scorer in Champions League knockout history at 17 years and 384 days, behind Bojan Krkic (17 years, 217 days) and Jude Bellingham (17 years, 289 days).
Additionally, Nwaneri’s goal, assisted by Myles Lewis-Skelly, marked the first time two English teenagers combined for a goal in the competition’s history.
With one foot in the quarter-finals, Arsenal will look to extend their dominance in the return leg at the Emirates.
