In a commanding UEFA Champions League display, Arsenal secured a 3-0 win against Monaco, with Bukayo Saka playing a pivotal role by scoring twice and assisting the third goal.

The match commenced with Arsenal asserting dominance, yet early opportunities were squandered due to imprecise finishing.

Arsenal solidified their dominance in the 88th minute. Saka orchestrated an attack, delivering a well-placed pass to Kai Havertz, who slotted the ball home, sealing the 3-0 victory.

This win elevates Arsenal to 13 points, placing them third in the group standings, trailing only Liverpool and Barcelona. Monaco, with this defeat, remains at 10 points, dropping to the fourteenth position.
