Arsenal won easily at home. |
Although Mikel Arteta made 6 changes to the squad compared to the previous win over Newcastle, the Gunners still showed impressive stability and depth.
The difference came from the new elements. In the 14th minute, Myles Lewis-Skelly had a precise cross for Gabriel Martinelli to run into, but the Brazilian striker failed to finish. Just a few minutes later, he was able to make amends. From Viktor Gyokeres' shot that was blocked by goalkeeper Tzolakis, Martinelli was there at the right time to easily tap the ball into the empty net, opening the score for Arsenal.
Olympiacos were not without chances. The Greek side almost equalised before halftime. Daniel Podence's beautiful volley forced David Raya to make a spectacular save.
In the second half, Martin Odegaard continued to be the soul of Arsenal's play. The Norwegian captain launched a series of passes that opened up opportunities. Trossard had a close-range shot but was denied by Tzolakis. Olympiacos also had a situation where the ball was in the net after Chiquinho's shot, but the goal was disallowed because El Kaabi had previously fallen into an offside position.
In the final minutes, Arsenal asserted their superiority. Odegaard almost got on the scoreboard but was again blocked by Tzolakis. However, the Olympiacos goalkeeper was helpless in extra time, when Bukayo Saka fired a decisive shot to help the "Gunners" become the only Premier League representative to win all 6 points after 2 matches.
