Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus extended the Gunners' lead in the 20th and 38th minutes at the Emirates Stadium. PSV will have a tough time coming back in the second half.

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka opened the scoring in the eighth minute to put the Gunners ahead against PSV in the Champions League after six-year absence in Europe's top competition.

However, the opener was not enough for Mikel Arteta's side as Leandro Trossard made it two in the 20th minute. The Belgian striker latched onto Saka's pass to cooly finish from the edge of the box.

Moreover, Gabriel Jesus, who has also had superb performances in recent matches, was keen to extend his team's lead before half-time and scored in the 38th minute. Trossard was the one who fed the Brazilian to add the third.

If the game ends this way, the Gunners would lead group B with three points.
