Arsenal 3-0 Lille: Gunners stay perfect in Champions League

Arsenal scored three goals in seven minutes as they cruised past Lille in the Champions League.

Timber opens the floodgates

But Jurrien Timber broke the deadlock with 64 minutes played with a fine dinked finish and in doing so, threw open the floodgates.

Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard were introduced immediately thereafter and they put the French to the sword. Saka assisted Eze for a second before immediately sweeping a Havertz cutback home to make it three.
