The noise inside was also further raised compared to as per, nights like this having been truly missed.<\/p>\n<h2>A history-inspired lights show at the Emirates\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Ten minutes before kick-off, the North London club had put on a light show. On the screen were clips from yesteryear; from Dennis Bergkamp\u2019s wondergoal against Newcastle, to the exploits of Thierry Henry and Ian Wright.<\/p>\n<p>The clips were interspersed by a narrator, one line poignantly reading, \u2018We have to be dominant, we have to show aggression\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>It was almost a reminder ahead of such a big night.<\/p>\n<h2>Aaron Ramsdale and David Raya exchange hug\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Aaron Ramsdale and David Raya could be seen warming up together, the former helping prepare his team-mate, including a big hug.

Today he still made those forays forward but was seen closer to the touchline in a role typical of a left back.<\/p>\n<p>He followed the remit well, but it was no surprise to see him depart on 58 minutes. The sheer stamina required was taxing for sure.<\/p>\n<h2>PSV&#8217;s goalkeeper develops a temper\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>By 30 minutes, nine shots at goal, six on target, had been registered by Arsenal. The noisy pocket of away PSV fans had become silent. Not goalkeeper Walter Benitez though, growing further irate with his defence after each goal.<\/p>\n<p>He has been used to goals flying in at the other end of late, PSV having scored eight in their previous two matches \u2014 conceding zero.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/20\/22\/75655191-0-image-a-36_1695245729537.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Almost 2,400 days passed between Arsenal&#8217;s last Champions League goal and Saka&#8217;s\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>A long old wait between Champions League goals&#8230;\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Bukayo Saka\u2019s goal was the Gunners\u2019 first in the competition since a Theo Walcott strike against Bayern Munich in March 2017 \u2014 2,388 days ago.
