LONDON - Arsenal took a giant step towards the Champions League knockout stage as Bukayo Saka’s double helped them to a 3-0 victory over AS Monaco on Dec 11.
Mikel Arteta’s side began the fixture outside the top eight in the expanded league stage but jumped up to third with Saka again the catalyst.
He tucked in a Gabriel Jesus cross in the 34th minute and Arsenal should have been out of sight before the interval.
Monaco threatened to make Arsenal pay for profligate finishing after the interval but the visitors gifted Saka his second goal in the 78th minute before substitute Kai Havertz rubber-stamped the victory with a close-range third. REUTERS
