We completed a 100% record in the league phase of the Champions League on Wednesday night with a 3-2 win over Kairat Almaty.
Viktor Gyokeres opened the scoring early on in north London, before a Jorginho penalty levelled for the Kazakhstan side.
Kai Havertz curled home on his first start of the season to notch the Gunners back in front, and Gabriel Martinelli added a third later in the first half.
Ricardinho headed in from close range to give Kairat another goal at the death, but we got the job done to make it eight victories from eight – the first club to do so in the competition’s current format.
The full 90 minutes of action are available in the video above, with our bitesize highlights package below.
