Arsenal on brink of Champions League last-16 after easing to victory against Sevilla

‘s side closer to the last 16 with a four-point gap separating them from PSV and Lens in Group B with two fixtures remaining. The front three consisting of Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli tormented their opponents throughout and each were involved in the goals.

With Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus absent already due to injury, Arteta will hope Saka’s latest knock is not a serious one. Saturday’s meeting with beleaguered Burnley followed by an international break does at least give him time to recover should he require it.Arsenal were entirely dominant against a team that has only beaten a Spanish sixth-tier side in their last nine matches.

But when the breakthrough came it followed a similar formula to that in Seville last month. A surgically precise through ball to dissect a disorganised backline worked a treat then and was repeated in north London. That was as good as it got for the visitors, who looked consigned to conceding a second before long. It arrived soon enough. Saka’s goal was less straightforward than his assist, but only just.
