Bukayo Saka was once again the catalyst for Arsenal, his double helping the Gunners to a relatively comfortable 3-0 home win over AS Monaco that moved the Gunners into sight of the Champions League knockout stages on Wednesday.

It was not all plain sailing for the hosts, who were guilty of some sloppy finishing, but England striker Saka took his tally for the season to nine goals in all competitions as Arsenal moved up to third in the table.

Arsenal, who have games against Dinamo Zagreb and Girona, have 13 points, while Monaco, who started the evening level on 10 points, are 16th.

Arsenal had a shot on goal from Odegaard, and in the 25th minute they had a chance to score. Jesus got through on the break and took a shot. His right-footed shot was saved by Monaco goalkeeper Radoslaw Majecki, who was forced into a difficult save. Shortly after, Arsenal got the ball back in a good position, giving Jesus another chance to shoot. He managed to hold off the defender and shoot with his right foot, but Majecki was on hand to make another good save.
