It was a game of utmost excitement as Bukayo Saka scored his first Champions League goal on his first Champions League game ever.
Saka opened the scoring in the eighth minute to put the Gunners ahead against PSV in the Champions League after six-year.
Saka, 22, made his bow in Europe’s elite competition after he helped Arsenal to finish 2nd in the Premier League last season after they fell just short of champions Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta’s side began their Champions League campaign against Eredivisie runners-up PSV and found themselves a goal up inside eight minutes after Saka reacted first to a loose save from Walter Benitez.
Saka drifted onto his left foot wide of the penalty area before laying it to Martin Odegaard whose powerful strike from the edge of the box stung the hands of Benitez but he could only parry it to Saka who followed in to smash home the opener.
If the game ends this way, the Gunners would lead group B with three points.
